    "description": "Tunes API rate-limiting configurations to balance abuse prevention with\nlegitimate traffic needs -- analyzing request-rate distributions across\nAPI consumers to identify percentile thresholds, reviewing 429-response\nincidence and correlating with customer-impact tickets, evaluating\nburst-allowance and sliding-window parameters against traffic-spike\npatterns, load-testing proposed rate-limit changes in staging with\nsynthetic client profiles, configuring per-endpoint and per-tier\ndifferentiated limits, updating rate-limit response headers and developer\ndocumentation, and monitoring post-deployment metrics for false-positive\nthrottling. Produces rate-limit configuration change record and impact\nanalysis. Excludes API architecture redesign.\n"
