Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native RudderStack Transformation integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right RudderStack Transformation calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your RudderStack Transformation data, across all 12 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke RudderStack Transformation access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in RudderStack Transformation, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when RudderStack Transformation is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach RudderStack Transformation.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every RudderStack Transformation action to support review and sign off.

Supported tools

Every action Ceven's agents can run on RudderStack Transformation, and when to use it.

Create Library
Use this to create a reusable JavaScript or Python code library that can be imported into multiple transformations.
Create Transformation
Deploy a new transformation. Set publish to true to make it live for event traffic or false to keep it as a draft.
Delete Transformation
Remove a published transformation by its ID to stop it from processing event data.
Get library by ID
Pull the details of a specific published library using its unique identifier.
Get Library Version
Retrieve a specific revision of a library using the library ID and version ID.
Get Transformation
Pull the code, version, and associated destinations for a specific published transformation.
Get Transformation Version
Retrieve a specific historical revision of a transformation by its ID and version ID.
List All Libraries
Pull a list of all published libraries available within the current workspace.
List Library Versions
Retrieve the full version history for a specific library ID.
List All Transformations
Pull all published transformations in the workspace to find specific logic by name.
List Transformation Versions
Retrieve all revisions for a specific transformation ID to track changes over time.
Update Transformation
Modify the name, description, or code of a transformation and optionally publish the new revision.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven interacts with the RudderStack API to create new revisions every time a transformation is updated. Because RudderStack never deletes a transformation revision, Ceven can pull any historical version using the Get Transformation Version tool. This allows the agent to compare the current production code against a known stable version from the past. If a deployment causes data quality issues, you can tell Ceven to identify the last working version ID and use the Update Transformation action to republish that specific code block, ensuring minimal data loss during the recovery process.
Yes. RudderStack supports both languages for transformations and libraries. When you use Ceven to create a library, you specify the language in the payload. The agent can manage both types side by side within the same workspace. For example, you might use a JavaScript library for simple string manipulation of event properties and a Python library for more complex data science calculations or heavy lifting before the data reaches your destination. Ceven keeps track of which library is which so it does not attempt to import a Python utility into a JavaScript transformation.
If you call the Update Transformation action with the publish flag set to false, RudderStack creates a new revision in the system but does not apply it to the live event stream. This is the recommended way to use Ceven for staging changes. The agent can create the revision, allow you to review the code via a Get Transformation call, and only once you provide a final sign off will it trigger a second call to publish the transformation. This prevents accidental outages in your data pipeline caused by syntax errors.
One critical quirk of the RudderStack Transformation API is that it is subject to strict rate limits based on your account tier. If you attempt to update hundreds of transformations in a tight loop, you may encounter 429 Too Many Requests errors. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, but for very large migrations, the agent will queue the updates and process them in batches. Additionally, remember that deleting a transformation removes it from the pipeline but does not purge the historical revisions, which remain accessible for audit purposes.
Ceven uses the List All Libraries tool to identify existing utility functions before creating new ones. This prevents the duplication of logic across your pipeline. When you ask the agent to implement a new transformation, it first searches for existing libraries that handle similar tasks, such as date formatting or email normalization. If a suitable library exists, Ceven references that library ID in the new transformation. If not, it can create a new library first and then link it, ensuring your data pipeline remains modular and easy to maintain.
Ceven can perform basic static analysis on your JavaScript or Python code before sending it to RudderStack. While it cannot execute the code in a full production environment, it checks for common syntax errors and missing brackets that would cause the RudderStack engine to reject the update. If the agent detects a likely error, it will alert you before calling the API. However, since transformations run on live event data, we always recommend using the unpublished draft state to verify the logic through a small sample of test events.
Ceven operates using the permissions assigned to the API key or OAuth token provided during the connection process. If the connected user does not have permission to delete transformations or create libraries in a specific RudderStack workspace, the API will return a 403 Forbidden error. Ceven will report this specifically to you, explaining that the action was denied by RudderStack. To resolve this, you must update the permissions in your RudderStack dashboard to grant the necessary write or manage access to the account linked to Ceven.
Yes. By using a combination of Get Transformation and Create Transformation, Ceven can effectively migrate logic across workspaces. The agent pulls the code and configuration from the source workspace and then recreates it in the target workspace. It also identifies any dependent libraries using the List All Libraries tool and recreates those first to ensure the transformation has all its dependencies. This is particularly useful for promoting logic from a development workspace to a production workspace while maintaining a clean audit trail in both locations.
