rateLimits:
  - name: Request Rate Limit
    description: >-
      The Morpho GraphQL API enforces a rate limit of 5,000 requests per 5-minute
      window (approximately 1,000 requests per minute). This applies to all callers
      regardless of IP or identity since no authentication is required.
    limit: 5000
    period: 5 minutes
    scope: Per caller / IP

  - name: Query Complexity Limit
    description: >-
      Each GraphQL query is assigned a complexity score based on the number of
      fields requested and their multipliers. The maximum allowed complexity per
      query is 1,000,000. Base cost per operation is 10. Individual fields carry
      variable costs and multipliers. Complexity scores are returned in the
      GraphQL response extensions so callers can monitor usage.
    limit: 1000000
    period: Per query
    scope: Per query execution
    source: https://docs.morpho.org/tools/offchain/api/get-started/

  - name: Results Pagination Limit
    description: >-
      The numberOfResults (first) parameter is bounded between 0 and 1,000 with
      a default of 5 results per query. Callers must paginate using skip/first
      to retrieve large datasets.
    limit: 1000
    period: Per query
    scope: Per query
    defaultValue: 5
    source: https://docs.morpho.org/tools/offchain/api/get-started/

  - name: Historical Data Default Window
    description: >-
      Historical state queries return the last 30 days of data by default when
      no startTimestamp or endTimestamp is specified.
    defaultWindow: 30 days
    scope: Per historicalState query
