Toolhouse Rate Limits

Machine-readable rate limit definitions for the Toolhouse API surface. Toolhouse meters consumption as monthly "credits" (one credit per worker run) rather than per-second HTTP rate caps. Per-tier monthly credit budgets are confirmed from the live pricing page on 2026-05-22; the per-minute rate values below are scaffold defaults for HTTP throttling and have not been independently published by the provider. A documented platform-level cadence rule is that scheduled workers may execute at most once every 10 minutes per schedule. Attachment uploads are capped at 10 MB per attachment.

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

It captures 10 rate-limit definitions, across the business, business-max, enterprise, and platform tiers, measuring credits_per_month, workers, requests_per_minute, minutes_between_runs, and megabytes_per_attachment.

Limit state is signalled in the limit, remaining, reset, and retryAfter response headers, and an exhausted limit returns HTTP 429.

This profile was written by API Evangelist and has not been verified against a page the provider published; treat every limit as unconfirmed until a dated transcription replaces it.

The profile also includes 8 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled, quotaExceeded, and serviceUnavailable.

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 worker run on the Toolhouse runtime; Toolhouse-provided tool invocations within a worker run are not separately credited.
Token Inclusion
All plans include "free unlimited tokens" — model token usage is not separately metered to the customer.
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 billing cycle.
Schedule Cadence Floor
Scheduled workers cannot execute more frequently than once every 10 minutes per schedule; faster cadences automatically default to this 10-minute minimum.
Attachment Constraints
Worker invocation attachments are limited to 10 MB each, with URL attachments subject to a 30-second download timeout. Unsupported or corrupted files are silently discarded.
Fair Use
Even on Enterprise tiers, sustained usage that materially impacts shared infrastructure may be subject to fair-use throttling.
