upstash-ratelimit-js

upstash-ratelimit-js is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from frontal-labs/mcp-server. It costs 177 tokens per session (446 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of upstash-ratelimit-js, Apache-2.0.

A TypeScript and JavaScript rate-limiting guide using Upstash Redis. Rate limiting restricts how often a user or client can call an API, and Redis is a fast data store used here to track those requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps add request limits to API routes, Next.js middleware, Vercel Edge, Cloudflare Workers, and other HTTP endpoints.
Why use it?
It helps prevent excessive traffic and can return HTTP 429 responses when a client sends too many requests.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

upstash-ratelimit-js scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Rate Limit TS SDK

Quick Start

  • Install the SDK and connect to Redis.
  • Create a rate limiter and apply it to incoming operations.

Example:

import { Ratelimit } from "@upstash/ratelimit";
import { Redis } from "@upstash/redis";

const redis = new Redis({ url: "<url>", token: "<token>" });
const limiter = new Ratelimit({ redis, limiter: Ratelimit.slidingWindow(5, "10s") });

const { success } = await limiter.limit("user-id");
if (!success) {
  // throttled
}

Other Skill Files

  • algorithms.md: Describes all available rate‑limiting algorithms and how they behave.
  • pricing-cost.md: Explains pricing, Redis cost implications, and operational considerations.
  • features.md: Lists SDK features such as prefixes, custom keys, and behavioral options.
  • methods-getting-started.md: Full method reference for the SDK's API and getting started guide.
  • traffic-protection.md: Guidance on applying rate limiting for traffic shaping, abuse prevention, and protection patterns.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
