What it does
Vastai Rate Limits is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Diagnose and design bounded Vast.ai CLI and REST traffic around per-endpoint, per-identity rate limits and the absence of Retry-After headers. Use when implementing polling, batch automation, or 429 recovery. Trigger with: "handle Vast.ai 429", "reduce Vast.ai polling", "set Vast.ai retry policy".
Its SKILL.md is about 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 an inventory of Vast.ai endpoints, calling identities, deadlines, and the current CLI or REST client.
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.

- Reduce Vast.ai polling
Example prompts
- “handle Vast.ai 429”
- “reduce Vast.ai polling”
- “set Vast.ai retry policy”

Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires an inventory of Vast.ai endpoints, calling identities, deadlines, and the current CLI or REST client.
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Write, Edit
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
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:
ReadGrepWriteEdit
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):
docs.vast.aigithub.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 an inventory of Vast.ai endpoints, calling identities, deadlines, and the current CLI or REST client.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Vastai Rate Limits loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 443 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.

Bounded Vast.ai API Traffic
Overview
Prefer the CLI's built-in 429 retry for ordinary commands and add one orchestration-level call budget around it. For direct REST clients, implement capped backoff because the API does not return standard rate-limit headers.
Prerequisites
- Endpoint and HTTP-method inventory with expected call volume
- Single owner for retry count, polling interval, deadline, and concurrency
- Metrics for calls, 429s, latency, cached hits, and abandoned work
Instructions
Step 1: Map the identity boundary
Group calls by endpoint, method, bearer token, session user, query key, and client IP because each can contribute to the enforced identity.
Step 2: Choose one retry layer
For CLI commands, configure --retry and do not wrap them in another exponential retry. For REST, retry only 429 with a capped backoff and total deadline.
Step 3: Replace tight polling
Cache stable offer and account data, poll only resources still in transitional states, stop on terminal states, and progressively lengthen the interval.
Step 4: Flatten bursts
Queue work, spread scheduled jobs, and batch operations where the documented endpoint supports it. Bound concurrency per endpoint.
Step 5: Honor the call budget
Stop when attempts, elapsed time, or request count reaches the approved ceiling; surface a retryable operational result instead of looping.
Step 6: Escalate sustained pressure
Report endpoint, identity shape, measured call rate, 429 rate, and business need to support when production volume requires a higher limit.
Authentication
Use the narrowest key for each worker and never rotate keys merely to evade a limit. Redact tokens and query credentials from request and retry logs.
Show full SKILL.md (187 more words)Show less
Tool Discipline
Use Read and Grep to inspect manifests, configuration, provider output, and existing tests before proposing a mutation. Use Write or Edit only for the approved plan, implementation, test, or redacted receipt; do not create, update, destroy, or fund Vast.ai resources without explicit operator approval.
Output
- Endpoint/identity traffic inventory
- Retry, polling, caching, concurrency, and deadline policy
- Measured before/after call volume and 429 receipt
Return endpoints, identity partition, client type, retry owner, call ceiling, observed 429s, elapsed time, and final disposition.
Examples
A readiness watcher uses one CLI command with --retry 3, polls only while state is transitional, lengthens the interval, and exits immediately on running, exited, unknown, or offline.
Error Handling
| Failure | Response |
|---|---|
| REST response is 429 | Back off within the total deadline; do not expect Retry-After. |
| Non-429 4xx occurs | Do not retry automatically; repair arguments, authentication, or permission. |
| Retry layers multiply | Remove the outer retry or disable the inner one so only one owner controls attempts. |
| Deadline expires | Return the last state and next safe action without another call. |
