  The 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold that previously occupied this file. That scaffold asserted
  X-RateLimit-* response headers, 429/503 status codes and five per-tier limits (10/100/1000 rpm,
  1,000 and 100,000 monthly quotas). NCD publishes none of that and serves no API. Replaced here
  by the measured result. See roadmap#35.

description: >-
  Published rate limits for the National Council on Disability. NCD operates no API, so there
  is no documented limit, no quota, and no rate-limit signalling to record. The only traffic
  controls observable are the edge defaults of the hosting stack.

      Static site on Cloud.gov Pages fronted by Amazon CloudFront (x-server: Cloud.gov Pages,
      via: CloudFront, x-cache: Hit from cloudfront). Responses carry cache-control: max-age=60,
      strict-transport-security, x-frame-options and x-content-type-options; no RateLimit-*,
      X-RateLimit-* or Retry-After header was returned on any 2xx or 4xx response.

      robots.txt declares only a Sitemap line — no Crawl-delay, no Disallow, no AI/agent-specific
      user-agent rules. Crawling and agent access are unrestricted by policy.
note: >-
  Absence of published limits is not absence of limits: CloudFront applies its own origin and
  request protections that NCD does not document. An honest zero, recorded rather than guessed.
