Concrete capability record

Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits

01 · Records and state owned

Read-only inspection, summarization and troubleshooting for campaigns, journeys, offers, channel configurations, configuration resources and sandbox information

02 · Data you can retrieve

Read-only inspection, summarization and troubleshooting for campaigns, journeys, offers, channel configurations, configuration resources and sandbox information

03 · Actions and write paths

The effective permission model is: Existing vendor identity, account, tenant, and permission controls should be treated as the authorization boundary. Reconfirm the cited first-party source before implementation.

05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery
