How do I handle rate limits from external model and tool providers?

Use Catalyst’s built-in throttling and retry logic alongside Dapr circuit breakers to manage external model and tool provider rate limits. Map your agent’s external API call volumes to each provider’s documented rate limits, carefully configure matching guardrails, and temporarily pause calls during provider outages to prevent cascading failures. Note that durable execution does not guarantee exactly-once delivery, so avoid redundant retries that could trigger over-limit errors.
