01 · Records and state owned
Workspaces, bases, tables, schemas, records, comments, Interface pages, and records exposed through pages a user can access.

Airtable
Included because its hosted MCP exposes permission-aware base, schema, record, comment, and Interface workflows, making Airtable a strong substrate for customer-owned operational views.

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.
02 · Data you can retrieve
Workspaces, bases, tables, schemas, records, comments, Interface pages, and records exposed through pages a user can access.
03 · Actions and write paths
Create bases, tables, fields, records, Interfaces and Interface pages; update records/tables/fields; publish Interfaces; and delete Interface pages through documented tools.
04 · Authentication and permissions
OAuth is recommended; personal access tokens and enterprise read-only service-account patterns are also documented. MCP mirrors Airtable permission levels. Owners/creators/editors can write within their grants; commenters/read-only users can read. Enterprise service accounts can be scoped read-only.
05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery
Require confirmation before schema changes, Interface publication, deletions, bulk record writes, or access to sensitive bases. Editing existing Interface pages is not currently supported. Tool availability can depend on client support, organization allowlisting, and granted bases/scopes.
06 · Limits and caveats
Existing Interface pages cannot be edited. Calls use standard Airtable API rate limits, record creation is capped at 10 records per request, interactive record display depends on client support, and development bases return 403.

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.
