Honesty badge and every tool count on this page are copied from directory.json at build time. Authored company JSON cannot override them. Public-company intel source of record is fin45 / GTM Signals Postgres, not this repo.

why_now abstains. No verbatim public quote with a resolvable receipt is on this record. Empty is honest; it is not a missing scoop.
why_now needs a verbatim quote and a resolvable receipt_url. Abstain (empty array) if the quote is weak or unpublished.
account_id is a feed value only. This repo does not mint acc_ from the slug. entry_point_account_id is the proved parent id, else this record's account_id, else null. Never a tenant go-after id. linkedin_company_url is copied from identity.linkedin_url only when that URL is a LinkedIn company or school page. The enrichment sidecar may supply that URL with a receipt; --apply-identity copies it here when this field is null.
family is empty. parent_account_id is null. subsidiaries is empty. No EX-21 proved nodes are on this record.
entry_point_account_id: null. family.subsidiaries takes EX-21 proved nodes only. Do not guess children. parent_account_id is proved parent only.
executives is empty. Filing-roster and licensed sources only. No email. No phone. Empty is not a claim this company has no officers.
enrichment executives is empty. Public roster sources only. No email. No phone. Empty is not a claim this company has no officers.

| clay-run/agent-plugins | first-party | First-party repo on clay-run. Description names skills, MCP tools, and the clay CLI. This is not a substitute for the hosted Clay MCP page. | 2026-09-08 |

community repos stay community. They never become official. Tool counts stay on directory.json.
Directory honesty badge is official. That badge is copied from 01-clay (mcp_status official, last_checked 2026-09-03). Clay publishes a first-party hosted MCP page at https://www.clay.com/mcp and workspace-admin docs at https://university.clay.com/docs/mcp-settings. The first-party GitHub org clay-run publishes agent-plugins, which mentions MCP tools and the Clay CLI. The community repo shanefirek/clay-mcp-public is third-party and is not an official Clay server. This sidecar does not invent a tool count and does not copy the community tool list onto the official badge.
Directory honesty badge on this sidecar: official. This prose cannot invent official or a tool count.

Company honesty_badge is the strongest mcp_status_bucket among linked canonical directory entries, in order official, community, unknown, none-found. n-a is ignored. Mixed products stay visible on the page; the badge does not hide a none-found sibling. Derived badge for this page: official. A catalogued tool is a name a server published. Nobody has called it unless tier is BENCH-TESTED. 1 of 1,252 directory entries are bench tested.
A spreadsheet-style workflow/orchestration tool that runs lead and company records through "waterfall" lookups across 100-200+ third-party data providers (Apollo, Lusha, Clearbit, etc.) and chains automation steps ("recipes") to build, enrich, and route...
Product rollup by domain: vendor page (existing /vendors/ surface, not this company record).
legal_name and domain from directory entry 01-clay. Private company: ticker and cik stay null. linkedin_company_url from the first-party about page sameAs. mcp_package_hint.mcp_url is the first URL on 01-clay. account_id, family, why_now, and executives are unissued or empty. Clay Workbench is a different directory entry on github.com and is not linked.
Enrichment is company-level only. No tenant book, no ICP, no go-after, no contact harvest.
This is a Why Now account card, not a Scoops or ZoomInfo clone. It does not invent an official MCP server. It does not invent a tool count. It does not carry tenant book, ICP, go-after, email, or phone. Job tags on the linked entries mean the vendor says the product does that job. 1 of 1,252 directory entries are bench tested. Enrichment sidecar fields are receipt-gated and may be empty.
