- ●Activity logging for all data modifications
⚠️Security Gaps & Recommendations
- ●No oauth scopes
- ●No token expiration
- ●No token rotation
- ●No mfa enforcement
- ●No pii redaction
- ●No training opt out
- ●No data residency
- ●No gdpr compliance
- ●No ai attribution

AI Integration Security evaluates whether Sales Layer is safe for AI agent access. This assessment considers authentication strength, access controls, observability capabilities, and data privacy protections when APIs are accessed by AI systems like Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or custom AI agents.
AI Readiness Assessment
Evaluates readiness for AI agent integration
Official or community MCP server support
API docs, SDKs, code examples
API reference, auth flows, error handling
Shadow AI Risk: HIGH
No official MCP server detected. AI agents may use undocumented APIs or web scraping, increasing security risks and reliability issues. Sales Layer should implement MCP support for secure AI integration.
💡Recommendations
- →❌ No MCP servers found - AI agent integration not available
- →❌ Poor AI readiness - not recommended for AI workflows
AI Readiness measures whether Sales Layerprovides the infrastructure and developer resources necessary for secure AI agent integration. High readiness indicates official MCP server support, comprehensive API documentation, and developer-friendly tools.
