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

Read and write live creator-account data including subscribers, tags, segments, sequences, broadcasts, forms, custom fields, posts, purchases, stats and webhooks; supports drafting and scheduling, with guarded consequential actions

02 · Data you can retrieve

Read and write live creator-account data including subscribers, tags, segments, sequences, broadcasts, forms, custom fields, posts, purchases, stats and webhooks; supports drafting and scheduling, with guarded consequential actions

03 · Actions and write paths

Kit's first-party MCP/agent surface includes state-changing tools in the documented capability area: Read and write live creator-account data including subscribers, tags, segments, sequences, broadcasts, forms, custom fields, posts, purchases, stats and webhooks; supports drafting and scheduling, with guarded consequential actions. The audit did not enumerate every mutation; verify the current tool catalog and require explicit confirmation for consequential actions.

04 · Authentication and permissions

OAuth scopes the connection to a creator account; 65+ tools are documented, a 120-requests-per-minute token limit applies, and destructive or open-world actions require explicit confirmation, often through a native-app deep link. Official Kit documentation distinguishes the live-account MCP from the documentation MCP. OAuth scopes the connection to a creator account; 65+ tools are documented, a 120-requests-per-minute token limit applies, and destructive or open-world actions require explicit confirmation, often through a native-app deep link.

05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery

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.
