What Kentik (BYOK) is for

Kentik (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own Kentik data through the Kentik API with a key you supply (Kentik API token (US region)). Read-only: 10 tools (list_devices, get_device, list_device_interfaces, list_sites, get_site, list_plans, list_flow_tags, list_custom_dimensions, list_device_labels, list_saved_filters). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to api.kentik.com. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Kentik. Kentik and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "Which devices send flow data to my Kentik account and at what sample rate?"
• "Show Kentik device 9623"
• "Which interfaces does Kentik device 9623 have and how fast are they?"
• "Which sites are defined in Kentik?"
• "Show Kentik site 2"
• "How many devices and flows per second does my Kentik plan allow?"

What it does

• list_devices: List the network devices (routers, switches, hosts) sending flow data to Kentik with subtype, plan, site, flow type, sample rate and sending IPs. SNMP and BGP secrets are not returned.
• get_device: Get one Kentik device with subtype, description, plan, site, flow type, sample rate and sending IPs. SNMP and BGP secrets are not returned.
• list_device_interfaces: List the interfaces of a Kentik device with SNMP id, description, alias, IP, netmask, speed and provider tag.
• list_sites: List the sites (groups of devices by location) with name and coordinates.
• get_site: Get one Kentik site by id with name and coordinates.
• list_plans: List the Kentik plans (licenses) with device and flow-rate limits, BGP and retention settings, and the devices assigned.
• list_flow_tags: List the flow tags (rules that label traffic by address, port, protocol, ASN and so on) with their match criteria.
• list_custom_dimensions: List the custom dimensions (user-defined traffic groupings) with name, display name and column type.
• list_device_labels: List the device labels with color and the devices each is applied to.
• list_saved_filters: List the company-wide saved filters with name, description, level and filter definition.

BYOK key

You bring your own Kentik Kentik API token (US region) (https://portal.kentik.com/v4/profile). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to api.kentik.com over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

What it is not

Kentik and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with. It is read-only: it never creates, changes, sends or deletes anything in your Kentik account.

Kentik (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Kentik (BYOK) is. Kentik (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own Kentik data: Read your Kentik network observability inventory: devices, interfaces, sites, plans, flow tags, custom dimensions, labels and saved filters (US region). You bring your own Kentik Kentik API token (US region); the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one Kentik call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to api.kentik.com, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If Kentik rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What Kentik receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under Kentik's own terms and privacy policy. Kentik acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer Kentik gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your Kentik data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. Kentik (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at Kentik at any time to end all access.

Children. Kentik (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under Kentik's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
