description: >-
  Porter is a client-side CLI and Go library for building, distributing, and
  installing CNAB bundles. It is not a hosted API, so there are no
  network-level rate limits to enforce or document. Any rate limiting that
  affects a Porter workflow is imposed by the upstream OCI / Docker registry
  the bundle is pushed or pulled from (Docker Hub, GHCR, ACR, ECR, etc.)
  and is governed by that registry's policy.

    notes: Porter inherits whatever rate limits the OCI registry hosting the bundle enforces.
policies:
  - name: Registry-level throttling
    description: Use authenticated registry credentials and consider mirror or pull-through caches for high-volume CI to avoid Docker Hub anonymous-pull limits.

notes: >-
  Porter has no hosted API surface and therefore no provider-published rate
  limits. Marked reconciled=false because there is nothing to reconcile.
