Limitations

Key limitations: Connected accounts and workflow side effects need explicit permissioning and review. Verify official docs, pricing, rate limits, permissions, and production side effects before delegating account-changing actions to an agent. 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.
