Limits

Read-only: it never books, changes or stores anything (annotations readOnlyHint, idempotentHint).
The Markdown text is capped at 8 KB; the structured result keeps every item.
10 s per call; 600 messages per minute per IP address.
Results are cached for 5 minutes and carry as_of, the date of the catalog's last change.
Prices are the daily rates companies publish; a car without one has daily_price null ("Contact for price"), never an estimate.
