Rate Limiting

The service does not enforce rate limiting by default. Deploy behind a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy, etc.) for rate limiting in production.

Text Size Limits

Maximum input text size: 1 MB (1,048,576 bytes). Requests exceeding this limit receive a 422 response.

Client Integration

Client libraries connect to this API only when:

mode is set to deep.
serviceURL is configured.
Local scan score ≥ 60.

Clients MUST handle service unavailability gracefully by falling back to the local result.
