/vendor check Vendor Agreement Status If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see [CONNECTORS.md](../../CONNECTORS.md). Check the status of existing agreements with a vendor across all connected systems. Provides a consolidated view of the legal relationship. Important : This command assists with legal workflows but does not provide legal advice. Agreement status reports should be verified against original documents by qualified legal professionals. Invocation If no vendor name is provided, prompt the user to specify which vendor to check. Workflow Step 1: Identify the Vendor Accept the vendor name from the user. Handle common variations: Full legal name vs. trade name (e.g., "Alphabet Inc." vs. "Google") Abbreviations (e.g., "AWS" vs. "Amazon Web Services") Parent/subsidiary relationships Ask the user to clarify if the vendor name is ambiguous. Step 2: Search Connected Systems Search for the vendor across all available connected systems, in priority order: CLM (Contract Lifecycle Management) If Connected Search for all contracts involving the vendor: Active agreements Expired agreements (last 3 years) Agreements in negotiation or pending signature Amendments and addenda CRM If Connected Search for the vendor/account record: Account status and relationship type Associated opportunities or deals Contact information for vendor's legal/contracts team Email If Connected Search for recent relevant correspondence: Contract related emails (last 6 months) NDA or agreement attachments Negotiation threads Documents (e.g., Box, Egnyte, SharePoint) If Connected Search for: Executed agreements Redlines and drafts Due diligence materials Chat (e.g., Slack, Teams) If Connected Search for recent mentions: Contract requests involving this vendor Legal questions about the vendor Relevant team discussions (last 3 months) Step 3: Compile Agreement Status For each agreement found, report: Field Details Agreement Type NDA, MSA, SOW, DPA, SLA, License Agreement, etc. Status Active, Expired, In Negotiation, Pending Signature Effective Date When the agreement started Expiration Date When it expires or renews Auto Renewal Yes/No, with renewal term and notice period Key Terms Liability cap, governing law, termination provisions Amendments Any amendments or addenda on file Step 4: Gap Analysis Identify what agreements exist and what might be missing: Flag any gaps that may be needed based on the relationship type (e.g., if there is an MSA but no DPA and the vendor handles personal data). Step 5: Generate Report Output a consolidated report: Step 6: Handle Missing Sources If key systems are not connected via MCP: No CLM : Note that no CLM is connected. Suggest the user check their CLM manually. Report what was found in other systems. No CRM : Skip CRM context. Note the gap. No Email : Note that email was not searched. Suggest the user search their email for "[vendor name] agreement" or "[vendor name] NDA". No Documents : Note that document storage was not searched. Always clearly state which sources were checked and which were not, so the user knows the completeness of the report. Notes If no agreements are found in any connected system, report that clearly and ask the user if they have agreements stored elsewhere For vendor groups (e.g., a vendor with multiple subsidiaries), ask whether the user wants to check a specific entity or the entire group Flag any agreements that are expired but may still have surviving obligations (confidentiality, indemnification, etc.) If an agreement is approaching expiration (within 90 days), highlight this prominently
