How to limit number of tokens in URL Navigation data action

Question

I have a visualization linked to a URL data action and would like to know if there is a way to limit the number of tokens it can pass to the url when it builds the URL string.  Currently has potential to build a string with hundreds of tokens but the service it is calling requests only 25 at a time.  Would like to restrict to build string with only the first 25 results if possible.

If I am interpreting your question correctly, you can define the anchors and enable/disable  multiple selection

As per, Create HTTP Data Actions

Click the Anchor To field and select the columns that you want the HTTP API data action to apply to. Don't select measure columns or hidden columns. If you don't specify a value for the Anchor To field, then the data action applies to all data elements in the visualizations.

Click Supports Multiple Selection to set the value.

On - The data action can be invoked when one or multiple data points are selected.

This setting is particularly useful when the selection of multiple data points might result in an error (for example, with some third-party REST APIs).

If I am misinterpreted your intention, please feel free to add more details and supporting (non-private) context.
