Evidence-Driven Flexport Quota Control

Overview

Build controls from documented endpoint constraints and observed responses, not a fictional universal requests-per-minute number. The clearest fixed budget is OAuth token issuance: at most 10 token requests per day per documented credential flow.

Prerequisites

• Inventory by OAuth, REST endpoint, and MCP tool
• Shared token cache and per-workload queues
• Observed statuses, provider messages, and latency without sensitive payloads

Instructions

Step 1: Separate budgets

Track token acquisition, read traffic, mutations, webhook processing, and MCP tool calls independently.

Step 2: Eliminate token churn
