## Description

Connect your Ironclad account to your AI agent to manage your entire contract lifecycle through natural conversation. Instead of hunting through folders or refreshing browser tabs to see if a signature arrived, you can just ask your agent for the status. You can launch new NDAs or MSAs from pre-built templates, check who is currently blocking an approval, or pull up negotiation notes from months ago. It's designed to get legal and ops teams out of the loop of searching for documents and into the flow of reviewing terms. Because Vinkius hosts this Connector, you can plug it into your existing setup and start managing your contract repository immediately. You'll spend less time clicking and more time actually reviewing the details that matter. It turns your contract repository into a searchable, actionable database that your agent can navigate for you.

## Use Cases

### Finding a blocker in a stuck NDA
A legal lead asks the agent who is holding up the Acme Corp NDA. The agent uses ironclad_get_approvals to show that the Finance team hasn't signed yet.

### Launching a standard MSA
A sales rep needs a new MSA for a new client. They tell the agent to launch one, and the agent uses ironclad_launch_workflow to start the process.

### Searching for renewal dates
A procurement officer asks about upcoming renewals. The agent uses ironclad_list_records to pull a list of all contracts expiring in the next 90 days.

### Reviewing negotiation history
A manager wants to know why a certain clause was changed. The agent uses ironclad_get_comments to pull the internal discussion thread.
