Best When

  • Retrieving funnel and cohort analytics from product analytics agents
  • Managing user segments and targeting from marketing automation agents

Not For

Known Gotchas

  • PRIVACY: Detailed user behavioral profiles require GDPR/CCPA consent and disclosure
  • No public MCP server — REST API with header-based API key auth
  • Region-specific API endpoints — US, EU, SG, IN have different base URLs
  • Batch upload limits apply — profile uploads limited to 1000 records per request
  • Rate limit of 1000 req/min — implement exponential back-off for high-volume event uploads
  • CleverTap identity management (CTID, custom identity) requires careful design
