Enforce a Hard Quota Before the Pool Fills

A shared pool serves many tenants, and one tenant that runs far more work than the rest can fill it and push every other tenant behind. A quota sets the share each tenant may hold. This skill covers quota enforcement for agent systems: set a hard cap per tenant rather than a soft one that only warns, check the cap before admitting work rather than trimming after, count the work in flight as well as the work queued, return a clear refusal so the caller can back off, and alert when one tenant sits at its cap for a long stretch.

Commands

$ openclaw command add --name "quota-check" --trigger "/quota" --source "Ops Console" --message "Report the share of the pool each tenant holds and the cap, so one tenant cannot fill the pool and push every other tenant behind."

$ openclaw alert-rule add --name "Tenant At Cap" --group-by "tenant" --window "30m" --action "Alert when one tenant sits at its cap for the whole window, which points at a hard limit that is holding back real work rather than stopping abuse."

$ openclaw auto-fix add --name "Hold Over Quota" --condition "tenant.inflight >= tenant.cap" --action "Refuse the new work with a clear reason so the caller can back off, rather than admitting it and trimming other tenants later." --approval "auto" --notify "#ops-info" --cooldown "5m"

$ openclaw runbook add --name "Quota Enforcement" --trigger "/runbook quota" --tags "advanced,ops" --steps "Set a hard cap per tenant. Check the cap before admitting work. Count in flight and queued work. Return a clear refusal. Alert when a tenant sits at its cap."
