Contract Audit Agent

Contract Audit Agent scans contracts for indemnity clauses, force majeure terms, and other high-risk language against a linter-style rule set.

What Is the Contract Audit Agent?

Contract Audit Agent is the specialist behind contract review in Legal operations — it scans each contract for indemnity, force majeure and other high-risk language against a linter-style rule set, then hands the findings back to the reviewing lawyer.

Clause Review — High-risk language found before it is signed
Rule Sets — Your playbook, applied the same way every time
Contract Portfolio — Obligations tracked across the whole portfolio

In one sentence

Rule-based clause review and obligation tracking — one specialist behind contract review in Legal operations.

How the Agent Builds Its Context

Every screen in Legal follows the same two-step approach, and Contract Audit Agent always provides the second step:

Step 1 — Find the relevant records → Step 2 — Contract Audit Agent reasons over them

Step	What it does
Step 1	Searches the tenant's own live records for the ones relevant to the item being reviewed, entirely on the user's own device.
Step 2	Takes the most relevant matches and reasons over them the way a specialist in that field would, producing the structured finding the screen displays.

The candidate pool is always the tenant's own records

Contract Audit Agent works with the records already on file for the tenant rather than an external archive, so every finding can be traced back to something the team can open and verify.

What Contract Audit Agent Checks

Each area below is backed by its own dedicated reasoning, grounded in the same kind of records a specialist reviews every day:

Area	Check	What it looks at
Clause Review	Indemnity	uncapped or one-sided terms
	Force majeure	missing or narrow definitions
	Termination	notice and exit rights
	Renewal	auto-renewal traps
Rule Sets	Rule library	one rule per risk pattern
	Severity levels	high, medium, low
	Fallback wording	suggested replacements
	Versioned changes	every rule edit tracked
Contract Portfolio	Obligation list	who owes what, by when
	Renewal dates	notice windows highlighted
	Risk heat	by counterparty and type
	Reviewer hand-back	findings go to the lawyer

Where Contract Audit Agent Fits

Contract Audit Agent has no ledger of its own — every record lives in the add-on's own tenant-scoped store. Its job is strictly the reasoning step: given the context a screen already assembled, produce a structured judgment and hand it back to the person responsible for that record.

A reasoning layer, not a data layer

Contract Audit Agent never reads or writes stored records directly — it receives the context the calling screen assembled, reasons over it and returns a result. Saving that result and any follow-up action remain the screen's responsibility, and every finding is handed back to a person rather than acted on automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Contract Audit Agent specific to Legal?

Today, yes — its capabilities exist to serve the Legal screens. The same two-step pattern is used by Patent Agent, Customs Agent and Compliance Agent in other parts of TotalApp.

Does Contract Audit Agent make final decisions on its own?

No. It returns findings — a flag, a discrepancy, a recommendation — and hands them back to the person responsible. Nothing is filed, paid, approved or sent automatically.

What happens if the agent finds no relevant records?

It says so instead of guessing. The finding is returned with a note that no supporting records were found, so the reviewer knows to check manually.

Where can I see Contract Audit Agent in action?

On the Contract Audit Agent product page, which walks through a typical session, or directly in the app on the Legal screens.
