limit() was also what popped into my head, but I think maximum() works even 
better for an API method.

Even as a native speaker when I first read the mail (though, admittedly not 
the header) I thought "capabilities" since I'm familiar with other APIs that 
use "cap" or "caps" for that.

I also think in this case adding "jobs" would be more expressive:  
maximumJobs() and setMaximumJobs(). (The other methods are clear enough since 
they take the job as a parameter.)
