name: Open Agentic Kit (OAK)
description: The Trade Desk's MCP-based access to Koa Agents, announced in the Platform API release notes
  on 2026-08-10 and available to select partners in private beta. Rather than exposing one tool per API
  endpoint, OAK exposes workflow-level capabilities over the platform data and actions.
deployment:
  mode: remote
  endpoint: https://api.thetradedesk.com/mcp/platform-management
  auth: oauth
  verified: probed
  note: Endpoint copied verbatim from the provider's own mcpServers configuration example in the Get started
    guide. POST tools/list and initialize both return HTTP 401 {"message":"Unauthorized"} from the Kong
    gateway anonymously — the live tool schemas require an approved private-beta credential. Auth recorded
    as oauth because the resource publishes RFC 9728 metadata naming https://auth.thetradedesk.com; a
    TTD-Auth API-key header is the documented default and OIDC is available on request.
auth_methods:
- method: api-key
  header: TTD-Auth

tools: []
tools_note: No tool list is recorded. tools/list is auth-gated (401) and the provider publishes no tool
  inventory in its docs — OAK is documented at the capability level, not the tool level. Recording invented
  tool names here would fabricate the agent surface, so the list is deliberately empty until an authenticated
  introspection is possible.
