Rate and Blast-Radius Limits for Destructive Tools

About this workflow

Cap how much damage any window of agent activity can do: rate limits, change budgets, checkpoints, and undo.

Best for

• •Recurring tasks you currently copy-paste between tools.
• •When a single prompt isn't enough — you need a chain where output(n) feeds prompt(n+1).
• •Fork and adapt if your inputs differ materially from the author's use case.
