Implement rate limiting (1.2/3) - size of incoming and outgoing requests

wxO is used externally in B2C mode, asking for rate limiting for several aspects :

- Security, to avoid a DoS attack and wxO to become less responsive,
- Consumption, avoiding consuming too many token, and having a too long conversation to redirect,

Details : Checks on the size of incoming and outgoing requests, implement strict size limits on the size of incoming and outgoing requests

  • Explicitly configure a maximum number of tokens in API calls to the AI model to force the text generation to stop once a reasonable volume is reached (e.g., 1,000 tokens per response).

These point concerns both API and UI.

    Looking into this but a custom way to handle it today is using plugins to check size of request in input and output: https://developer.watson-orchestrate.ibm.com/plugins/plugins
