Rate Limits

The server includes built-in rate limiting matching GHL's limits:

Burst: 100 requests per 10 seconds
Daily: 200,000 requests per day

The server automatically queues and retries when limits are approached.

Error Handling

All tools return actionable error messages with hints:

401: Check your API key (must be Private Integration Token)
403: Missing scopes — edit your Private Integration in GHL Settings
404: Resource not found — check the ID
422: Validation error with details
429: Rate limit — automatic retry
