Known Gotchas
- ⚠ PRIVACY: Employee learning records are personal data
- ⚠ No public MCP server — REST API with Basic auth
- ⚠ API key used as HTTP Basic auth username — unusual pattern; avoid logging auth headers
- ⚠ No webhooks — must poll API for completion and status changes
- ⚠ No pagination on some endpoints — large user/course lists returned in full
- ⚠ API documentation is a PDF — less discoverable than web-based docs
