description: >-
  Off Grid Stores states that its MCP endpoint is rate-limited but publishes no numbers, and no
  RateLimit-*/X-RateLimit-*/Retry-After header was present on any successful response observed
  during this pass. The one machine-readable cost signal on the surface is the GraphQL query-cost
  figure returned in extensions.

- surface: MCP (https://offgridstores.com/api/ucp/mcp, https://offgridstores.com/api/mcp)
  statement: >-
    "Respect rate limits. The MCP endpoint is rate-limited per IP. Back off on 429 responses."

  note: >-
    A robots directive rather than an enforced API limit, but it is the only numeric pacing figure
    the store publishes anywhere. robots.txt explicitly Allows GPTBot, CCBot, Google-Extended and
    OAI-SearchBot on the whole site.

  observed: true
  examples:
  - query: '{publicApiVersions{handle supported displayName}}'
    requestedQueryCost: 1
  - query: '{shop{name description primaryDomain{url}} paymentSettings{...}}'
    requestedQueryCost: 3
  note: >-
    Only requestedQueryCost was returned; the actualQueryCost and throttleStatus fields
    (currentlyAvailable, maximumAvailable, restoreRate) that would let an agent budget against a
    leaky bucket were absent from every response observed. An agent can price a query but cannot see
    its remaining budget.
headers_observed:
  ratelimit: []
  x_ratelimit: []
  retry_after: []
  other:
  - x-request-id
  - x-shopify-api-version
  - x-shopify-ucp-mcp-api-version

notes:
- >-
  No documented limit exists for the Storefront GraphQL API or the /products.json,
  /collections.json and /cart.js endpoints on any offgridstores.com page.
- No 429 was triggered during this pass; probing was deliberately light.
