For sales-outreach (SDR) agents: Never trust one timestamp-free payload. Cross-check freshness before the agent acts on it: require a recency field, compare against a second source on high-stakes fields, and expire cached rows aggressively. Stale data fails silently, which is why it is worse than an error.
For sales-outreach (SDR) agents: Suppression is a hard stop, not a preference. Keep one global suppression list that every sender and every channel checks before any send, sync it in both directions with the mail provider, and treat a missed suppression as a severity-1 incident, not a data bug.
Fixes agents that keep finding notes in context and silently drop the critical ones when the window fills. Use when a completed run's notes are missing vulnerabilities the raw tool output clearly shows. Findings must be written to disk the moment they are confirmed, never held in context.

Use when a severity filter hid a KEV-listed CVE and the report claimed zero findings. Covers rescanning without the filter, making KEV membership override severity filters, and KEV-first triage. Not for tuning severity thresholds in general.
