Operations 4

Each operation below carries the questions people ask an LLM about it and the instructions they give an agent to run it. Generated by API Evangelist overlay

GET /Services/{ServiceSid}/RateLimits List rate limits on a Verify service · Twilio List Rate Limits #

Ask an LLM

“Which rate limits have I defined on my Verify service?”

“What throttling rules protect my verification flow from abuse?”

Tell an agent

List the rate limits on Verify service {service}.

Show every throttling rule defined for service {service}.

POST /Services/{ServiceSid}/RateLimits Create a rate limit on a Verify service · Twilio Create a Rate Limit #

Ask an LLM

“How do I cap how often verification codes can be requested on my service?”

“Can I define a named rate limit on my Verify service?”

Tell an agent

Create a rate limit called {unique_name} on Verify service {service}.

Add rate limit {unique_name} to service {service} described as {description}.

GET /Services/{ServiceSid}/RateLimits/{RateLimitSid}/Buckets List the buckets of a rate limit · Twilio List Rate Limit Buckets #

Ask an LLM

“What maximums and time intervals are set on one of my rate limits?”

“Which buckets belong to a given Verify rate limit?”

Tell an agent

List the buckets of rate limit {rate_limit} on service {service}.

Show the max and interval settings for rate limit {rate_limit} in service {service}.

POST /Services/{ServiceSid}/RateLimits/{RateLimitSid}/Buckets Add a bucket to a rate limit · Twilio Create a Rate Limit Bucket #

Ask an LLM

“How do I allow at most a set number of verification requests per time window?”

“Can one rate limit have several buckets with different intervals?”

Tell an agent

Add a bucket to rate limit {rate_limit} on service {service} allowing {max} requests every {interval} seconds.

Limit rate limit {rate_limit} of service {service} to {max} per {interval}-second window.
