Graceful Boundaries is an open specification (CC-BY-4.0) for how HTTP services communicate operational limits — rate limits, quotas, auth, payload size — to humans and autonomous agents. It extends RFC 9457 problem-details with a structured refusal vocabulary, defines a limits-discovery endpoint, and specifies four conformance levels (L0–L4).
Key Focus Areas
- Operational-limit communication
- Agent-safe HTTP error responses

About llms.txt Implementation
The llms.txt at gracefulboundaries.dev points to the spec, the RFC 9457 profile, the conformance checker, and worked examples — the minimum context an agent needs to either implement the spec or interpret a conformant service's responses.
