What it does
Instantly Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Implement Instantly API v2 workspace-wide throttling, endpoint overrides, and safe 429 recovery. Use when coordinating request budgets across workers, keys, or API versions. Trigger with "handle Instantly 429s", "set an Instantly request budget", or "throttle Instantly API workers".
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: Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Instantly workspace and API v2 key
It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Rate limiting. 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
- Coordinating request budgets across workers
- With handle Instantly 429s
- Set an Instantly request budget
- Throttle Instantly API workers
Example prompts
- “handle Instantly 429s”
- “set an Instantly request budget”
- “throttle Instantly API workers”
- “/instantly-rate-limits”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Instantly workspace and API v2 key
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, Write, Edit
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Inventory every producer sharing the workspace and every endpoint-specific override.
- Allocate a workspace request budget below both general windows.
- Centralize token-bucket state and expose queue depth, wait time, and 429 telemetry.
- Retry only operations proven safe, with bounded exponential backoff and jitter.
- Do not assume a webhook retry count or timing absent a published contract.
- Test burst, sustained, override, and retry-storm scenarios with synthetic traffic.
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:
ReadGlobGrepWebFetchWriteEdit
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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.instantly.ai
Also links to:
developer.instantly.ai
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
Designed for Claude Code; live verification requires network access and an approved Instantly workspace and API v2 key
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Instantly Rate Limits loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 481 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Instantly Workspace Rate Control
Overview
Coordinate traffic across clients and keys so retries do not amplify throttling or duplicate writes. Record assumptions, evidence, approval state, and rollback ownership so another operator can reproduce the result.
Prerequisites
- The target repository, Instantly workspace, environment, and accountable owner
- Current security, privacy, compliance, capacity, and change-control requirements
- An approved API v2 key only when a bounded live verification is necessary
Tool Discipline
Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect code, configuration, and evidence. Use WebFetch only for current first-party Instantly documentation and package metadata. Use Write or Edit only when implementation was requested and exact target files are known; never write credentials, lead data, email content, or unrestricted environment output.
Current Contract
- General limits are 100 requests per second and 6,000 per minute across API v1/v2 for the whole workspace.
- GET /emails is limited to 20 requests per minute; other endpoints may publish independent limits.
- 429 is the authoritative throttling signal; retry timing must follow documented or observed response metadata.
Authentication
Use an API v2 key as Authorization: Bearer <key> against https://api.instantly.ai/api/v2. Grant only the endpoint-specific scopes needed, inject the key from an approved server-side secret manager, and never print, persist, commit, or place it in a URL. Treat key creation, rotation, revocation, member changes, workspace delegation, and production access as owner-approved actions.
Instructions
- Inventory every producer sharing the workspace and every endpoint-specific override.
- Allocate a workspace request budget below both general windows.
- Centralize token-bucket state and expose queue depth, wait time, and 429 telemetry.
- Retry only operations proven safe, with bounded exponential backoff and jitter.
- Do not assume a webhook retry count or timing absent a published contract.
- Test burst, sustained, override, and retry-storm scenarios with synthetic traffic.

Approval Boundaries
Do not create, rotate, reveal, or revoke keys; invite or remove members; delegate across workspaces; connect sending accounts; create or activate campaigns; import or delete leads; change suppression or retention; register, patch, resume, or delete webhooks; alter plans or paid capacity; transmit diagnostics; or perform another production mutation without explicit approval from the accountable owner. Keep diagnosis read-only unless implementation was requested.
Output
Return the workspace-safe scope, files and contracts inspected, exact API v2 routes and required scopes, evidence collected, validation result, sensitive fields redacted, remaining risk, accountable owner, approval state, and rollback or next action.
Error Handling
| Condition | Response |
|---|---|
401 | Stop and verify that the bearer key exists, is current, and was not revoked. |
403 | Stop and compare the operation with its exact required scope; do not broaden to all:all by default. |
429 | Coordinate the workspace-wide budget, honor endpoint overrides, and bound retries. |
| Schema or tenant mismatch | Fail closed, preserve redacted evidence, and do not retry a mutation. |
Examples
Use a compact handoff that makes scope, mutation authority, and evidence reviewable.
Input:
workspace-rps=80; workspace-rpm=4800; email-list-rpm=15Expected handoff:
limits=enforced; retry-budget=bounded; mutation-retries=disabledResources
