Developer implements 10-second delay for Claude Code agent tool calls

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer encountered an issue where their AI agent, utilizing Claude Code, made too many rapid calls to external websites, leading to an account suspension. To prevent this, they implemented a system that enforces a 10-second delay between tool calls to any given site. This solution involves a lock mechanism and a JSON file to track the last request time for each site, ensuring that subsequent requests adhere to the minimum interval, regardless of which script or session initiates them. AI

IMPACT Ensures more responsible and controlled interactions between AI agents and external services, preventing account suspensions.

    Two Claude Code hooks make our agent wait 10 s between browser calls to one site, measured at 10,000 ms. How do you pace yours?

    <blockquote> <p>We looked for a Claude Code setting that puts a minimum gap between tool calls and didn't find one. So after one of our scripts got an account suspended, we built the gap out of a PreToolUse/PostToolUse hook pair: every browser tool call that touches one of the si…
