Launch and manage Ironclad contract workflows, read and write repository records and entities, and subscribe to contract events.
Ironclad ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 28 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.
io.w6w.ironcladIronclad is a contract lifecycle management platform: contracts are requested through launch forms, move through review, approval and signature as workflows, and land in a searchable repository of records tied to the legal entities behind them.
This app covers the three objects a contract automation touches. Workflows: launch one from a template, read and update its attributes, follow approvals, comments and signers, and pause, resume or cancel it. Records: list, read, create, update and delete the repository’s contract records, and read the record schema so a workflow knows which properties exist. Entities: the counterparties and subsidiaries that records point at.
It also manages webhooks, so a flow can react to a contract being signed instead of polling for it, and reports the token’s own user and granted scopes. Connections use OAuth 2.0, either the authorization code grant for a signed-in user or the client credentials grant for a service identity acting as a named user, against the US, EU or demo environment.
Three routes to the same 28 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Ironclad's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.
entity-create Create a legal entity. Properties are typed objects keyed by property id, like record properties.
entity-list List the legal entities (counterparties, subsidiaries) that workflows and records refer to.
record-create Create a contract record by naming its type and metadata properties. Each property is a typed object, for example {"counterpartyName": {"type": "string", "value": "Acme"}}.
record-list List contract records in the repository, with filtering, search and sorting. Sorted by agreement date, newest first, unless told otherwise.
record-schema-get List the record types and every property (id, display name, type) the repository defines. Use it to build the `properties` for Create Record.
record-update Change a record's name, type, properties, links or parent/child relationships. Only the changes you name are applied; everything else is left alone.
token-info-get Return the user, company and granted OAuth scopes behind this connection's token. Needs no resource scope, so it also answers for a connection that can do little else.
webhook-create Register an HTTPS endpoint to receive Ironclad events, such as workflow_completed or workflow_signature_packet_fully_signed. Create one webhook per set of events you want routed to a given URL.
webhook-list List the webhooks registered for the company. Webhook responses do not carry a signing secret.
workflow-approval-update Approve (or reset to pending) one approval role on a workflow. Only possible during the Review step and while that approval group is active.
workflow-approvals-list List a workflow's approval groups and each reviewer's status. Only triggered approvals appear; conditional ones that have not triggered are omitted.
workflow-attributes-update Set or remove attribute values on a workflow. The workflow must be in the Review step. Form validation is enforced.
workflow-cancel Cancel a workflow. Cancellation cannot be undone; Ironclad requires a comment.
workflow-comment-create Post a comment on a workflow's activity feed, optionally as a reply. Needs the `public.records.createComments` scope (Ironclad gates this route with a records-prefixed scope).
workflow-create Launch a new workflow from a template, synchronously. Pass the launch form's fields as attributes; `counterpartyName` is always required. File attachments need a multipart request this app does not make; use a workflow whose form takes no files, or upload documents separately.
workflow-get Fetch one workflow: its step, status, launch attributes, roles, approvals and signatures.
workflow-list List workflows, newest page first. Without a status filter Ironclad returns only active workflows (Create, Review, Sign and Archive stages).
workflow-schema-get Fetch one workflow template's launch form: every field id, type, display name and whether it is required.
workflow-schemas-list List the workflow templates you can launch, each with the fields of its launch form.
workflow-signers-list List the signers on a workflow and the status of their signatures.
A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the
connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the
workflow spec, carrying Ironclad's real ids.

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An
app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the
address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account,
so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Ironclad, then fill in
the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the
parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed
from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but
nothing in it is specific to Ironclad. The Workflow tab is where this app's
real ids are.

One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.
One tool call{
"name": "w6w_invoke",
"arguments": {
"ref": "app:io.w6w.ironclad#entity-create",
"input": {
"name": "<name>"
}
}
}
Every tool names its target with a single ref. The
app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the
host resolves which of the caller's Ironclad connections to sign
with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.
The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.
Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.
Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.
Ironclad's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.
The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Ironclad itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).
Ironclad declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
