Secures and rate limits backend services behind Google Cloud API Gateway across OpenAPI 2.0 and OpenAPI 3.0.x API configurations, including MCP-enabled gateways. Use when configuring API key or JWT authentication, locking down Cloud Run or Cloud Run functions backends with a gateway service account, reading authenticated claims from X-Apigateway-Api-Userinfo, setting per-project request quotas, or diagnosing HTTP 429 and HTTP 500 Service Control Quota errors.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'api-gateway-backend-security-and-rate-limiting' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'api-gateway-backend-security-and-rate-limiting' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named api-gateway-backend-security-and-rate-limiting already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/google/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '793c036c3af827151ada918c5f8cba823ef7086d' -- 'skills/cloud/api-gateway-backend-security-and-rate-limiting' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/cloud/api-gateway-backend-security-and-rate-limiting' ~/.agents/skills/'api-gateway-backend-security-and-rate-limiting' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'api-gateway-backend-security-and-rate-limiting' ~/.claude/skills/'api-gateway-backend-security-and-rate-limiting' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
