Limitations

Key limitations: Posting, moderation, and member data require clear permissions and rate-limit handling. Outbound messages, SMS, email deliverability, consent, unsubscribe behavior, private chats, and customer-facing replies need approval, throttling, and audit logs. API automation needs client-side throttling, idempotency where supported, pagination limits, retries, and audit logging. Store credentials outside source control and use least-privilege scopes, short-lived tokens, or restricted keys where the product supports them.
