Pull request overview

Updates the filtering documentation to explicitly warn API authors about denial-of-service risks when enabling regex-based search via the $ (iregex) prefix.

Changes:

  • Adds a warning callout about maliciously crafted regular expressions (ReDoS/catastrophic backtracking) when using $/iregex search.
  • Updates the $ lookup table row to reference the new warning.

馃挕 Add a code-review agent skill or configure MCP servers for context-aware, tailored reviews. Learn more in the docs.
