Limitations

Key limitations: Verify model availability, regional requirements, and data policy before production automation. Model behavior, costs, rate limits, data retention, and safety policies can change by model and account tier; use evals, spend caps, and data controls for sensitive workloads. 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.
