Workflow Instructions

/vendor-check -- Vendor Agreement Status

If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see 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

/vendor-check [vendor name]

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:

## Agreement Coverage

[CHECK] NDA -- [status]
[CHECK/MISSING] MSA -- [status or "Not found"]
[CHECK/MISSING] DPA -- [status or "Not found"]
[CHECK/MISSING] SOW(s) -- [status or "Not found"]
[CHECK/MISSING] SLA -- [status or "Not found"]
[CHECK/MISSING] Insurance Certificate -- [status or "Not found"]

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:

## Vendor Agreement Status: [Vendor Name]

**Search Date**: [today's date]
**Sources Checked**: [list of systems searched]
**Sources Unavailable**: [list of systems not connected, if any]

## Relationship Overview

**Vendor**: [full legal name]
**Relationship Type**: [vendor/partner/customer/etc.]
**CRM Status**: [if available]

## Agreement Summary

### [Agreement Type 1] -- [Status]
- **Effective**: [date]
- **Expires**: [date] ([auto-renews / does not auto-renew])
- **Key Terms**: [summary of material terms]
- **Location**: [where the executed copy is stored]

### [Agreement Type 2] -- [Status]
[etc.]

## Gap Analysis

[What's in place vs. what may be needed]

## Upcoming Actions

- [Any approaching expirations or renewal deadlines]
- [Required agreements not yet in place]
- [Amendments or updates that may be needed]

## Notes

[Any relevant context from email/chat searches]

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
