Adobe Analytics MCP server - findMetrics Limit Error

I have implemented the Adobe Analytics MCP via oAuth server to server authentication and currently I am able to create connection and maintain sessions for this. However while using the call tools to request and fetch data from any reportSuite I am facing some kind of bug for the tool “findMetrics”.

Even after using the “page” & “limit” params I am still getting a large set of data as a response.

for e.g. I requested “page”:0 & “limit”:10 but still got returned 86 rows of metrics data, Not sure if this is any issue from server side under which “limit” is not recognized. If anyone else faced this error let me know. For now I have restricted the data by manually slicing the  post my limit.

Hi ​@Kshg7030 

findMetrics returns both standard metrics and calculated metrics. page / limit affect only the calculated metrics portion and standard metrics are fetched as a full, unpaginated list. The MCP tool then combines both result sets into one response.

​@Kshg7030 the GET /metrics endpoint that findMetrics wraps does not actually accept limit or page, it only documents rsid, locale, segmentable, reportable, and expansion https://developer.adobe.com/analytics-apis/docs/2.0/guides/endpoints/metrics/ 

 

The MCP server forwards your params but the underlying Analytics API silently drops them and returns the full catalog.

 

Try segmentable=true or reportable=true to narrow server-side, otherwise client-side slicing is the expected pattern. If you actually wanted calculated metrics rather than the base metric catalog, the /calculatedmetrics endpoint does support limit and page properly.

    ​@manpreetkaur27 thanks for your response. So you mean that if I fetch only calculated metrics then I will get returned the number of rows I want (limit is intact), otherwise it wont. But there is any way to do this, like filter only for standard or calculated metrics?

    I don’t think there’s a filter for it but if you're looking for calculated metrics only, you can ask for calculated metrics specifically to filter to those. You can identify them by their metric IDs. Calculated metrics have associated IDs that start with ‘cm…’ , so filtering on that prefix should allow you to return only calculated metrics.
