Customer grouping
customerRef is an optional opaque identifier derived from authentication your product already has.
Good values are internal account or tenant IDs. Do not send names, email addresses, prompts, or task text.
Session continuity
Sessions exist only when your product or MCP integration supplies a stable, application-level reference. Epode does not group requests by timing, IP address, user agent, or inferred identity. Use a session reference when your product already has a meaningful journey—such as a checkout attempt, support workflow, or research run. If no stable reference exists, leave it out and use interactions instead.An MCP transport session is not product-session proof. MCP 2026-07-28 transport is stateless; application
continuity must be explicit.
