# query_metadata_analytics_benchmarks

Query the Metadata.io marketing knowledge base for cross-account industry benchmarks and priors.

Read [analytics](https://metadata.io/developers/tools/#cat-analytics)

## What it does

## Arguments

| Argument | Type |   | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| `question` | string | required | Natural-language question. Should describe a COHORT (industry × size × channel × format / audience), not a specific company. |
| `conversation_id` | any |   | Optional. Pass the value returned from a prior `_benchmarks` call to keep the query context warm. The two knowledge-base tools never share conversation_ids — pass only IDs returned by `_benchmarks` here. |

## Request

**Request template, not a complete runnable example.** Replace placeholders, empty objects, arrays, and zero values with valid account-specific inputs. Read required fields and nested constraints in the full schema. Confirm the account, connected channels, and referenced assets before calling a write tool.

## Response

Recorded with these arguments. Enum values are the first the tool's own schema declares; ids were fetched live from a `list_` call immediately before.

Real, from the production server, in **21091 ms**. Values that identify a customer or disclose money are replaced with typed placeholders; keys, types and nesting are exactly as returned.
