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

Subscribers, phone/email channels, custom attributes, events, transactional or triggered messages, products, and webhook notifications.

02 · Data you can retrieve

Retrieve authorized subscriber, event, message, and catalog/integration data exposed by Attentive’s APIs and webhooks.

03 · Actions and write paths

Create or update subscribers and attributes, submit events, and invoke supported messaging or commerce-integration actions under approved use cases.

04 · Authentication and permissions

Private API apps use an app API key as a bearer token; public apps use OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow with requested scopes and user authorization.

05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery

Consent, opt-in provenance, suppression, quiet hours, transactional-versus-marketing classification, and send authority are non-negotiable.

06 · Limits and caveats

Most API endpoints allow 150 requests per second; identity and subscribe allow 10, unsubscribe 5, and product-catalog uploads 1. Exceeding limits returns 429.

Agent access

MCP support

Product claim unresolvedAttentive-announced MCP beta; technical provider surface unresolvedProduct claim; technical maturity unresolved

Support: Product claim unresolved

Read scope: Attentive has announced a first-party MCP beta, but no public tool catalog or documented MCP read scope was verified.

Write scope: No public Attentive source reviewed here documents MCP mutations, message generation, campaign activation, subscriber changes, or send authority for the beta.

Authentication: Not documented for the announced MCP beta. Attentive's separate API surface uses bearer API keys for private apps and OAuth authorization code flow for public apps.

Approval boundary: Until Attentive documents beta controls, require separate confirmation for subscriber identity, consent changes, message content, audience, channel, marketing-versus-transactional classification, schedule, and send or journey activation.

Protocol does not erase product boundaries.

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

Proposed customer-shaped experiences

The output could be an export, report, graph, artifact, application, agent, workflow, or downstream feed. These proposals are derived from documented access—not claims that Attentive ships them.
