What it does

Flexport Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Analyze and control Flexport request volume without inventing undocumented global limits or headers. Use when handling throttling, OAuth token budgets, endpoint-specific quotas, pagination pressure, or retry policy. Trigger with: "Flexport rate limit", "throttle Flexport calls", "budget Flexport tokens".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/official-docs.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires per-operation metrics, bounded queues, and current endpoint documentation or observed provider responses.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Rate limiting, LLM cost and token optimization and OAuth and OpenID Connect. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Handling throttling
  • OAuth token budgets
  • Endpoint-specific quotas
  • Pagination pressure

Example prompts

  • “Flexport rate limit”
  • “throttle Flexport calls”
  • “budget Flexport tokens”
  • “/flexport-rate-limits”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires per-operation metrics, bounded queues, and current endpoint documentation or observed provider responses.
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Separate budgets
  2. Eliminate token churn
  3. Honor explicit evidence
  4. Shape reads
  5. Serialize mutations
  6. Tune from receipts

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are yaml).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.flexport.com
    • mcp.flexport.com

    Also links to:

    • developers.flexport.com
    • apidocs.flexport.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires per-operation metrics, bounded queues, and current endpoint documentation or observed provider responses.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Flexport Rate Limits loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 425 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Evidence-Driven Flexport Quota Control

Overview

Build controls from documented endpoint constraints and observed responses, not a fictional universal requests-per-minute number. The clearest fixed budget is OAuth token issuance: at most 10 token requests per day per documented credential flow.

Prerequisites

  • Inventory by OAuth, REST endpoint, and MCP tool
  • Shared token cache and per-workload queues
  • Observed statuses, provider messages, and latency without sensitive payloads

Instructions

Step 1: Separate budgets

Track token acquisition, read traffic, mutations, webhook processing, and MCP tool calls independently.

Step 2: Eliminate token churn

Reuse each 24-hour OAuth JWT through a shared cache and single-flight refresh so business concurrency does not consume the 10/day token-request budget.

Step 3: Honor explicit evidence

Apply endpoint-specific documented limits and provider retry signals when present. Do not assume rate-limit headers or Retry-After exist universally.

Step 4: Shape reads

Use documented page sizes/cursors or links, avoid expensive expansions on index calls, and stop pagination when the business window is satisfied.

Step 5: Serialize mutations

Queue bookings and record creation by business key, cap attempts, and reconcile ambiguous outcomes before retry.

Step 6: Tune from receipts

Change concurrency only from measured latency/error evidence and preserve the before/after decision.

Authentication

REST calls authenticate with a cached OAuth 2.0 client-credentials Bearer token using audience https://api.flexport.com, or an explicitly accepted broad API key. Use distinct credentials per workload and never log credentials or tokens. MCP calls use the authenticated connection to https://mcp.flexport.com/mcp and remain subject to each tool's documented account permissions.

Tool Discipline

Use Read and Grep for discovery and evidence. Use Write or Edit only for the approved artifact, code, configuration, test, or receipt described by this workflow; do not make an unapproved Flexport-side change.

Output

  • Scoped decision or implementation artifact
  • Redacted operation and validation receipt
  • Failure, rollback, and follow-up ownership record

Return a machine-reviewable receipt in this shape; adapt the operation values, but never place credentials or provider payloads in it:

yaml
surface: rest-v3
operation: shipment-read
decision: approved
outcome: verified
evidence:
  release_sha: recorded-out-of-band
  provider_reference: redacted
rollback_owner: logistics-platform

Examples

An importer reads freight invoices from /invoices in pages of 10 as recommended for performance, caches its OAuth token, limits concurrent reads based on observed behavior, and never claims a global Flexport quota that the docs do not publish.

Error Handling

FailureResponse

Mutation throttledReconcile existing business references before resubmitting.
