## Rules for an agent

- REST: Authorization: Bearer <project API key> to https://api.hookdeck.com/2026-09-01/...; MCP: run the hookdeck CLI as an stdio server (command hookdeck, args gateway mcp; add --allow-write for changes) after hookdeck login or HOOKDECK_API_KEY; hookdeck listen forwards webhooks to localhost; docs pages are available as .md
- Stay under 240 API requests per minute per key and honor the X-RateLimit headers
- Keep the project API key server-side; MCP starts read-only unless you pass --allow-write
