limit_count: 4
summary: Sigma documents per-endpoint rate limits for the four endpoints most likely to be hammered (token minting, exports,
  sends, downloads) and does not publish a global request-per-minute ceiling. It publishes NO rate-limit response headers
  and no documented 429 semantics — an agent gets the number from the docs but has no runtime signal from the wire.
limits:
- scope: per-endpoint
  endpoint: POST /v2/auth/token
  limit: 1
  window: 1 second
  burst: null
  note: Token minting. Cache the bearer token for its full 1-hour lifetime rather than minting per request.
- scope: per-endpoint
  endpoint: POST /v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/export
  limit: 400
  window: 1 minute
  burst: null
- scope: per-endpoint
  endpoint: POST /v2/reports/{reportId}/export
  limit: 400
  window: 1 minute
  burst: null
- scope: per-endpoint
  endpoint: POST /v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/send
  limit: 100
  window: 1 minute
  burst: null
- scope: per-endpoint
  endpoint: POST /v2/reports/{reportId}/send
  limit: 100
  window: 1 minute
  burst: null
- scope: per-endpoint
  endpoint: GET /v2/query/{queryId}/download
  limit: 400
  window: 1 minute
  burst: null
pagination_limits:
  default_page_size: 50
  max_page_size: 1000
  note: 'Applies to every endpoint that supports pagination. Two paging idioms coexist: offset paging (page + limit, 61
    operations) and cursor paging (pageToken + pageSize, 26 operations).'
response_headers:
  published: []
  probed: The published OpenAPI contains no X-RateLimit-*, RateLimit-* or Retry-After header definitions (0 occurrences
    across all 286 operations), and the docs name no header.
  exhaustion_status: not documented
  gap: A client cannot discover remaining quota or a retry delay from a Sigma response. This is the single clearest agent-readiness
    gap in an otherwise strong developer surface.
other_controls:
- control: IP allowlist
  note: Admins may restrict API access by source IP with Scope=API.
  docs: https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/restrict-access-to-sigma-by-ip-address
- control: CSV upload size
  note: Default CSV upload limit is raisable to 1GB (changelog 2026-05-01).
