- api: Kate Farms Storefront GraphQL API
  endpoint: https://shop.katefarms.com/api/2026-01/graphql.json
  style: query-cost
  signal_field: extensions.cost.requestedQueryCost
  limit_count: null
  window: null
  headers_observed: []

  - query: '{ shop { name } }'
    requestedQueryCost: 1
  - query: publicApiVersions + shop + policies
    requestedQueryCost: 8
  - query: full introspection
    requestedQueryCost: not returned
  note: Every response carries an extensions.cost block, so an agent can measure the
    cost of a query, but neither a throttleStatus block nor any X-RateLimit-* header
    was returned on the anonymous responses observed. The concrete ceiling is a Shopify
    platform limit that Kate Farms does not publish.
