🚨 Severity: MEDIUM
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: The FastAPI Pydantic models lacked input length limits, making the endpoints vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks via excessively large payloads (multi-megabyte strings or massive lists).
🎯 Impact: Attackers could cause high memory usage or CPU exhaustion, potentially crashing the server or impacting availability.
πŸ”§ Fix: Added Pydantic Field constraints (max_length=256 for query strings, max_length=100 for short arrays, and max_length=10000 for batch ingest arrays).
βœ… Verification: Tested via uv run pytest and verified by uv run ruff check ..


PR created automatically by Jules for task 4032967130263267345 started by @n24q02m

Adds `max_length` limits to Pydantic models in `src/tacet/serve/server.py`
(`AskRequest`, `DistillRequest`, `GraphIngestRequest`) using `Field`. This
prevents potential Denial of Service (DoS) attacks from unbounded payloads
exhausting memory or CPU during JSON deserialization.
