+## CORS
+
+CORS middleware currently uses a built-in allowlist (including `https://apeclaw.ai` and localhost variants). `APE_CLAW_CORS_ORIGINS` is logged at startup but not yet applied to the runtime allowlist.
+
+All endpoints include these headers:
+- `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: <request origin when allowed by middleware>`
+- `Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PATCH, OPTIONS`
+- `Access-Control-Allow-Headers: content-type, x-agent-id, x-agent-token, x-registration-key, x-moltbook-identity, x-api-key`
+- `Access-Control-Max-Age: 86400`
+
+## Rate Limiting
+
+API endpoints are rate-limited per IP using an in-memory sliding window:
+- **Read endpoints**: 60 requests/minute
+- **Write endpoints** (POST/PATCH): 10 requests/minute
+- **Auth endpoints** (register/verify): 5 requests/minute
+
+When exceeded, returns `429 Too Many Requests`.
+
+## Body Size Limits
+
+Request bodies are limited to 256 KB by default. Oversized payloads receive `413 Payload Too Large`.
+
+## Error Responses
+
+All error responses follow this format:
+```json
+{
+  "error": "Error message",
+  "reason": "Detailed reason (optional)"
+}
+```
