Trade-offs and limits

• — Read-only. Agents cannot write letters, subscribe citizens, or change content.
• — Public mirror only. Subscriber-gated article bodies stay behind the paywall on the website, and the MCP server returns the same gated excerpts.
• — Stateless. Each request is independent; no sessions are kept between calls.
• — No auth. CORS is open. If we add write tools later, both rules change.
• — Soft rate limit: ~60 requests per minute per IP. If you need more, get in touch.
