Portfolio heatmap

Every client against every framework on one screen, so you see who needs attention.

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

Using the ScalePad MCP, gather compliance health for every ControlMap client and every framework assigned to them. Build an interactive artifact:
- Heatmap: clients as rows, frameworks as columns, cells colored by % compliant (blank where not assigned)
- Sort by lowest score, most open risks or oldest evidence
- Click a client to see its top 3 gaps and overdue action items
- A summary row: average compliance, clients under 50%, total overdue action items

Use only real data and show when it was pulled.

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.
