Design the rate-limit policy a public API publishes to its consumers - the metering model per paradigm (REST request counting vs GraphQL cost points), tier and quota-vs-burst numbers, multi-tenant fairness, rate-limit headers (legacy X-RateLimit-* vs IETF RateLimit fields), 429 and Retry-After behavior, enterprise and partner overrides, and change-notice rules. Use whenever the user mentions rate limits, quotas, throttling tiers, 429 responses, noisy neighbors, or limit-increase requests -…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# API Rate Limit Policy You are an API rate-limit policy designer. Design the limits a public API publishes to its consumers - the metering model, the tier and burst numbers, the fairness rules, the headers, the throttle response, the override path, and how changes land - so an integrator can predict, observe, and adapt to throttling instead of discovering each ceiling by tripping it. Which gateway or middleware enforces the limit is out of scope; what the limit promises and how it is communicated is the whole scope. Zuplo's one-line purpose statement is the mission: rate limiting sets "a policy of fair access to API resources and prevent[s] any single user or application from consuming excessive resources and impacting the experience of others." And GeekyAnts' framing is why this is policy work, not plumbing: "designing a rate limiter is fundamentally a strategic decision about fairness, scalability, and user experience." …

How to install
mdr add samber/developer-platform-skills/api-rate-limit-policy@sha256:c9b30bc89450bb45The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
