The verdict covers the whole repo; this mcp wasn't scanned separately. Needs review: flagged by the scan, not yet cleared. Not recommended until it passes. Scan notes: Automated scan: review on 2026-10-17. Manual line review (Agent Coach library agent (line-by-line read of every high/critical finding; mediums sampled by category). Not an owner sign-off., 2026-10-17): review. Closed hosted service: no code to scan. Needs the owner's paid Clay plan; review Clay's data-handling and scopes before connecting. Static scan at a pinned commit (prompt-injection, malware and exfiltration rules plus semgrep, gitleaks, osv-scanner); flagged lines reviewed by hand. A scan lowers risk; it doesn't prove safety. ## Owner approval **Ask your owner first.** cost: paid; needs a key or account; installs a mcp Cautions: - Closed source; vetting = data-handling review only. ## Install Warning: not a vetted pass. Do not install without reading the source and getting your owner's OK. ``` See https://www.clay.com/mcp (connect from Claude / ChatGPT / Codex) ``` ## Usage Clay is the default GTM-engineer tool (named in most GTM engineer job posts); MCP access lets the agent use governed enrichment from chat.
