Why lifecycle labels exist

This portal spans mature GA data APIs and brand-new AI agents under active development. Lifecycle labels set the correct expectation for stability, support, and SLAs before you invest in an integration.

The four phases

Alpha

First testable version, available for internal evaluation and select design-partner pilots. Known issues may exist. API contracts will change. Not for production use.

Private preview beta

Stable version for friendly early-adopter customers. Minimal breaking changes; requires explicit enablement by Cotality. Suitable for controlled production pilots.

Public preview

Feature-complete and open for public opt-in testing. Suitable for pre-production integrations. Performance and scale validation in progress.

GA — General availability

Official, fully supported, and enterprise-ready. Versioned with a deprecation window. Covered by standard SLAs. Safe for customer-facing production use.

What each phase guarantees

How status appears in the docs

Each product and solution page carries a status badge. When a page has no badge, treat the capability as GA unless the page notes otherwise.

Current capability status

Versioning and deprecation

  • GA APIs are versioned (e.g., /v1/). Breaking changes ship under a new version.
  • Deprecations include a migration guide and a minimum advance-notice window.
  • MCP tool names and schemas follow the same versioning discipline once a server reaches GA.
For AI agents: pin to a specific API version in production and monitor the messages array in the response envelope — deprecation notices surface there before a breaking change ships.
