Concrete capability record

Data, retrieval, actions, identity, and operating limits

A field-by-field summary of what the reviewed first-party references actually support. Publisher update dates and BYO-UI review dates are shown separately below.

01 · Records and state owned

Retrieve non-PII campaign, Canvas, segment, custom-attribute and analytics data; with individually granted API-key permissions, create or update selected non-PII content such as media assets, email templates and content blocks

02 · Data you can retrieve

Retrieve non-PII campaign, Canvas, segment, custom-attribute and analytics data; with individually granted API-key permissions, create or update selected non-PII content such as media assets, email templates and content blocks

03 · Actions and write paths

Braze's first-party MCP/agent surface includes state-changing tools in the documented capability area: Retrieve non-PII campaign, Canvas, segment, custom-attribute and analytics data; with individually granted API-key permissions, create or update selected non-PII content such as media assets, email templates and content blocks. The audit did not enumerate every mutation; verify the current tool catalog and require explicit confirmation for consequential actions.

04 · Authentication and permissions

Official Braze docs say the local beta will continue to work but is no longer supported, while the OAuth-based remote server is forthcoming in Early Access. Profile must not describe the remote server as GA, must exclude profile PII, and must expose read/write permissions separately.

05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery

Profile must not describe the remote server as GA, must exclude profile PII, and must expose read/write permissions separately. Official Braze docs say the local beta will continue to work but is no longer supported, while the OAuth-based remote server is forthcoming in Early Access. Profile must not describe the remote server as GA, must exclude profile PII, and must expose read/write permissions separately.

06 · Gaps and implementation limits

Official Braze docs say the local beta will continue to work but is no longer supported, while the OAuth-based remote server is forthcoming in Early Access. Profile must not describe the remote server as GA, must exclude profile PII, and must expose read/write permissions separately.

Role: provider

Read scope: Retrieve non-PII campaign, Canvas, segment, custom-attribute and analytics data; with individually granted API-key permissions, create or update selected non-PII content such as media assets, email templates and content blocks

Write scope: State-changing tools are present in the documented scope; review the official tool catalog and require confirmation for consequential actions.

Authentication: Official Braze docs say the local beta will continue to work but is no longer supported, while the OAuth-based remote server is forthcoming in Early Access.

Approval boundary: Profile must not describe the remote server as GA, must exclude profile PII, and must expose read/write permissions separately.

Protocol does not erase product boundaries.

Confirm the current tool catalog, plan, region, scopes, rate limits, terms, and write behavior before implementation.

Evidence and dates

First-party references, with publisher and review dates separated

“Publisher updated” is shown only when the page exposes an update date. “BYO-UI reviewed” records when this research checked the reference. A missing publisher date is reported as missing—not replaced with the review date.
