--- name: "account_get_limits" area: "account" title: "Read the limits" price: "free" method: "POST" url: "https://api.conecto.chat/v1/tools/account_get_limits" mcp_server: "https://api.conecto.chat/mcp/account" auth: "Authorization: Bearer " docs_url: "https://conecto.chat/tools/account/account_get_limits" --- # Read the limits (`account_get_limits`) The limits Conecto raises on request, each with its standard and current value, and the business's requests with their answers. The limits a business can ask Conecto to raise (calls a minute, new email addresses a day, phone numbers and more): each one's standard and current value and the most that can be asked for, and the business's requests with their answers. Price: Free. A call that fails costs nothing. ## Use it when A tool answered that a limit was reached, or before planning work that needs more than a limit allows. - For the daily budget and the monthly spending ceiling, use [account_balance](https://conecto.chat/tools/account/account_balance.md). ## Say this to your agent > How many phone numbers can we rent, and did Conecto answer our request for more? ## Inputs This tool takes no arguments: send `{}`. ## Example Written for Halverson Cycle & Repair, a bike shop with a repair workshop in Portland, Oregon.
