# Guardrails

The Guardrails Tab is used to limit the potential impact of individual CopyStorm runtimes and to ensure that CopyStorm jobs do not interfere with other operations.

| Parameter Name                 | Default Setting | Required | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| ------------------------------ | --------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| API Call Limit                 | Blank           | No       | Limits the maximum number of transactions (queries) to send to Salesforce. This option can help avoid exceeding your organizational limit for transactions per 24-hour period. CopyStorm will stop when this value is exceeded. Usually this parameter is only set for the initial load of the CopyStorm database. |
| API Threshold                  | Blank           | No       | Maximum starting API utilization. When CopyStorm is initializing the data copy, if the current Salesforce API usage is above the provided percentage, the copy job is not started.                                                                                                                                 |
| Maximum Runtime                | Blank           | No       | The maximum number of minutes CopyStorm will run before gracefully shutting down. Leave this blank to disable the time limit.                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| Production Database Protection | Checked         | No       | If Checked, CopyStorm will not allow a production Salesforce database to be overwritten by another Salesforce’s data.                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| Schema Only Backup             | Unchecked       | No       | If Checked, CopyStorm will back up the Salesforce schema, but Salesforce data will not be included. This option is typically used during Salesforce migrations.                                                                                                                                                    |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://learn.capstorm.com/reference/configuration-tab/guardrails.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
