What it does

Quicknode Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Analyze and govern QuickNode plan, IP, and method-specific rate limits without inventing a universal threshold. Use when requests receive QuickNode limit codes, one method needs a protective budget, or retry policy must respect endpoint controls. Trigger with: "analyze a QuickNode rate limit", "detect a method limit", "control QuickNode request bursts".

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: Method and advanced endpoint limits depend on plan and chain; qn access requires an authenticated account

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

  • Requests receive QuickNode limit codes
  • One method needs a protective budget
  • Retry policy must respect endpoint controls
  • With: analyze a QuickNode rate limit

Example prompts

  • “analyze a QuickNode rate limit”
  • “detect a method limit”
  • “control QuickNode request bursts”
  • “/quicknode-rate-limits”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Method and advanced endpoint limits depend on plan and chain; qn access requires an authenticated account
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit, Bash(qn:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Classify the signal
  2. Read the configured limits
  3. Measure demand
  4. Choose the control
  5. Implement bounded retry
  6. Prove under load

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 23ea8d4. 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
    • Bash(qn:*)

    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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • quicknode.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

    Method and advanced endpoint limits depend on plan and chain; qn access requires an authenticated account

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Quicknode Rate Limits loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 445 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
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
~1.2k

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.

QuickNode Rate-Limit Control

Overview

Treat account-plan ceilings, IP limits, and operator-configured method limits as separate controls. QuickNode exposes distinct JSON-RPC errors for per-second, per-minute, and method limits; an HTTP status alone is not sufficient diagnosis.

Prerequisites

  • Endpoint ID, plan, chain, network, and affected method
  • A redacted error sample with HTTP and JSON-RPC fields
  • Authorized dashboard, Admin API, or qn read access

Authentication

Authenticate qn interactively with qn auth login and verify the intended account with qn auth whoami. For direct Admin API inspection, inject a separate account API key as the x-api-key header. Endpoint tokens in URLs or x-token headers authenticate RPC traffic but do not replace control-plane credentials.

Instructions

Step 1: Classify the signal

Use Read and Grep to find the first complete redacted response. Preserve QuickNode codes such as -32007 per-second, -32008 per-minute, and -32011 method limit. Separate client timeouts and chain-node errors.

Step 2: Read the configured limits

Use Bash(qn:*) to inspect endpoint and method-rate settings through authenticated read commands. If the CLI version lacks the required view, use the dashboard or documented Admin API rather than guessing a number.

Step 3: Measure demand

Group requests by endpoint, token, source IP, method, and interval. Distinguish HTTP calls from WebSocket subscription creation; subscription responses do not count like new requests.

Step 4: Choose the control

Reduce concurrency, coalesce duplicate reads, cache immutable results, or set a method limit that protects expensive calls. Raising a plan limit is a capacity decision, not the first retry strategy.

Step 5: Implement bounded retry

Use Write or Edit to retry only idempotent reads and only recognized transient limit responses. Apply jitter, cap attempts and elapsed time, and honor a provider delay header when documented. Never automatically replay transaction submissions.

Step 6: Prove under load

Test below and above the intended threshold in a non-production endpoint. Confirm the expected code, bounded client behavior, recovery, and absence of synchronized retry bursts.

Tool Discipline

Use Read and Grep for error and demand discovery, Bash(qn:*) for authenticated read-only control-plane inspection, and Write/Edit for bounded retry or throttling code. Require explicit approval before changing production limits.

Output

  • Limit-layer classification
  • Measured method and interval demand
  • Bounded client-control change
  • Before/after load receipt and rollback threshold

Examples

A single trace method hits -32011 while ordinary reads succeed. The operator caps that method and queues callers instead of applying a global retry loop to every RPC request.

Error Handling

FailureResponse
-32007Reduce per-second bursts or review plan capacity
-32008Flatten longer-window demand and inspect batch jobs
-32011Inspect the endpoint's method-specific rule
Transaction submission is limitedReconcile transaction identity before any manual retry
