# cgroup-cpu-throttler-mcp

> cgroup-cpu-throttler-mcp is a paid API for AI agents from api.m2mcent.com, paid per call via x402, $0.2/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-25).

Processes cgroup CPU throttling operations, allowing agents to manage and control CPU resource limits for processes via Linux cgroup mechanisms.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability cgroup-cpu-throttler-mcp-42f73709 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you throttle the CPU usage of this process so it doesn't exceed 50% — here's the process data: '{"pid": 1234, "cpu_limit": 50}'?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically apply or manage Linux cgroup-based CPU throttling for processes or process groups in an agentic workflow, especially when you want to enforce resource limits without manual system administration intervention.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed data string causes processing failure
- Process ID not found or already terminated
- Insufficient permissions to modify cgroup settings
- cgroup subsystem not available on the host
- CPU limit values out of acceptable range
- Service returns error if data field is missing or empty

## How this service works

The premier global index of 1,069 monetized MCP nodes across 205 specialized subdomains. Gasless USDC runtime settlements via x402 V2 Spec on Base L2. Save 95% token context.

## Output

Returns the result of the cgroup CPU throttling operation, including confirmation of applied limits, current cgroup status, and any relevant CPU usage metrics or error messages if the throttling could not be applied.
