Toolhouse Rate Limits

Machine-readable rate limit definitions for the Toolhouse API surface. Toolhouse's published pricing page meters consumption as monthly "credits" (one credit per agent run) rather than per-second HTTP rate caps. Per-tier monthly credit budgets are confirmed from the live pricing page; the per-minute rate values below are scaffold defaults for HTTP throttling and have not been independently published by the provider.

Toolhouse Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for Toolhouse on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 7 rate-limit definitions, across the basic, pro, business, and enterprise tiers, measuring credits_per_month and requests_per_minute.

The profile also includes 5 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for quotaExceeded, serviceUnavailable, and throttled.

Tagged areas include Agent Infrastructure, AI Agents, AI Workers, Backend as a Service, and MCP.

Policies

Credit Metering
Consumption is primarily metered in credits, not raw HTTP request counts. One credit represents one agent run on the Toolhouse runtime; Toolhouse-provided tool invocations within an agent run are not separately credited on paid tiers.
Backoff Strategy
Clients should implement exponential backoff with jitter, honoring the Retry-After header when present.
Burst Handling
Short bursts above the steady-state limit are tolerated up to the documented burst ceiling before throttling engages.
Quota Reset
Monthly credit quotas reset at the start of each calendar month in UTC.
Fair Use
Even on uncapped enterprise tiers, sustained usage that materially impacts shared infrastructure may be subject to fair-use throttling.
