A single-page posture summary for leadership: where they stand, what changed, what's next.

ControlMap
Requires MCPby Greg Brydon · Solutions Engineer

Needs an LLM client connected to ScalePad MCP — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf or similar. Without it the assistant cannot call the recipe's tools.

User prompt

2 inputs to fill
Pull [CLIENT NAME]'s current ControlMap data and build a one-page executive report as an artifact.

Include:
- A one-sentence headline on their overall posture
- Progress for each framework (% of controls met)
- Top 5 risks with owner and status in plain English
- What improved recently and what slipped
- The 3 priorities for the next 90 days, each with the business reason

Write for a business owner. Keep control IDs to a small appendix. Brand it as prepared by [MSP NAME]. If data is missing, say "not yet tracked" rather than estimating.

How to work with the ControlMap API (ScalePad MCP):
- Find the client with GET /controlmap/v1/clients/health and use its tenant ID (for example "dundmif") in every request. Some clients have no UUID.
- Send the header Content-Type: application/json on every POST, PUT and PATCH, including searches.
- Use page_size of 50 or less and follow next_cursor. The "fields" parameter is ignored, so responses are large.
- Judge controls by "status", not the "compliant" flag. Objective lists include sub-objectives, so take totals from objective_summary.
- Use framework-level scores and labels. The overall score_label on client health can be wrong.
- Older policy sections may be URL-encoded twice: decode them and use the highest version of each section.
- If a call returns 502 or fails to connect, wait a few seconds and retry once. If it still fails, tell me exactly which data is missing.
