Core Workflows
1. List and Search Subscribers
When to use: User wants to browse, search, or filter email subscribers
Tool sequence:
- •
KIT_LIST_SUBSCRIBERS- List subscribers with filters and pagination [Required]
Key parameters:
- •
status: Filter by status ('active' or 'inactive') - •
email_address: Exact email to search for - •
created_after/created_before: Date range filter (YYYY-MM-DD) - •
updated_after/updated_before: Date range filter (YYYY-MM-DD) - •
sort_field: Sort by 'id', 'cancelled_at', or 'updated_at' - •
sort_order: 'asc' or 'desc' - •
per_page: Results per page (min 1) - •
after/before: Cursor strings for pagination - •
include_total_count: Set to 'true' to get total subscriber count
Pitfalls:
- •If
sort_fieldis 'cancelled_at', thestatusmust be set to 'cancelled' - •Date filters use YYYY-MM-DD format (no time component)
- •
email_addressis an exact match; partial email search is not supported - •Pagination uses cursor-based approach with
after/beforecursor strings - •
include_total_countis a string 'true', not a boolean
2. Manage Subscriber Tags
When to use: User wants to tag subscribers for segmentation
Tool sequence:
- •
KIT_LIST_SUBSCRIBERS- Find subscriber ID by email [Prerequisite] - •
KIT_TAG_SUBSCRIBER- Associate a subscriber with a tag [Required] - •
KIT_LIST_TAG_SUBSCRIBERS- List subscribers for a specific tag [Optional]
Key parameters for tagging:
- •
tag_id: Numeric tag ID (required) - •
subscriber_id: Numeric subscriber ID (required)
Pitfalls:
- •Both
tag_idandsubscriber_idmust be positive integers - •Tag IDs must reference existing tags; tags are created via the Kit web UI
- •Tagging an already-tagged subscriber is idempotent (no error)
- •Subscriber IDs are returned from LIST_SUBSCRIBERS; use
email_addressfilter to find specific subscribers
3. Unsubscribe a Subscriber
When to use: User wants to unsubscribe a subscriber from all communications
Tool sequence:
- •
KIT_LIST_SUBSCRIBERS- Find subscriber ID [Prerequisite] - •
KIT_DELETE_SUBSCRIBER- Unsubscribe the subscriber [Required]
Key parameters:
- •
id: Subscriber ID (required, positive integer)
Pitfalls:
- •This permanently unsubscribes the subscriber from ALL email communications
- •The subscriber's historical data is retained but they will no longer receive emails
- •Operation is idempotent; unsubscribing an already-unsubscribed subscriber succeeds without error
- •Returns empty response (HTTP 204 No Content) on success
- •Subscriber ID must exist; non-existent IDs return 404
4. List and View Broadcasts
When to use: User wants to browse email broadcasts or get details of a specific one
Tool sequence:
- •
KIT_LIST_BROADCASTS- List all broadcasts with pagination [Required] - •

after/before: Cursor strings for pagination - •
include_total_count: Set to 'true' for total count
Key parameters for details:
- •
id: Broadcast ID (required, positive integer)
Pitfalls:
- •
per_pagemax is 500 for broadcasts - •Broadcast stats are only available for sent broadcasts
- •Draft broadcasts will not have stats
- •Broadcast IDs are numeric integers
5. Delete a Broadcast
When to use: User wants to permanently remove a broadcast
Tool sequence:
- •
KIT_LIST_BROADCASTS- Find the broadcast to delete [Prerequisite] - •
KIT_GET_BROADCAST- Verify it is the correct broadcast [Optional] - •
KIT_DELETE_BROADCAST- Permanently delete the broadcast [Required]
