Quota Management

The MCP server automatically checks resource quota availability before executing create operations, preventing failures due to quota limits.

• Pre-Flight Validation - Checks quota before API calls
• Automatic Blocking - Prevents creation when quota is at 100%
• Warning System - Warns when quota usage is 80-99%
• Caching - 5-minute cache reduces API calls
• Per-Namespace Tracking - Quota limits checked per namespace
• Configurable Thresholds - Customize warning and blocking levels

Available since v2.1.0
