Benchmark Email

ReviewAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.

Overview

This is a coherent Benchmark Email integration, but it gives the agent broad authenticated API access through Membrane, including raw proxy calls that are not clearly scoped or approval-gated.

Before installing, make sure you are comfortable giving Membrane-authenticated access to your Benchmark Email account. Use least-privilege credentials if possible, approve any write, webhook, delete, send, or raw proxy operation explicitly, and consider pinning or verifying the Membrane CLI version before installing it globally.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

An agent could make broader Benchmark Email API calls than the predefined actions suggest, potentially changing contact lists, webhooks, or other account data if prompted or misdirected.

Why it was flagged

This creates a broad authenticated API escape hatch beyond the listed actions and schemas. For an email marketing account, that could enable high-impact writes or configuration changes without clear per-action scoping in the artifact.

Skill content
When the available actions don't cover your use case, you can send requests directly to the Benchmark Email API through Membrane's proxy. ... injects the correct authentication headers
Recommendation

Only allow raw proxy use for explicit user-approved tasks, prefer listed actions when possible, and require confirmation before creating, updating, deleting, sending, or webhook-related operations.

What this means

Actions will run using the connected Benchmark Email account, so mistakes may affect real marketing data and customer/contact records.

Why it was flagged

The skill relies on delegated Membrane/Benchmark Email authentication. This is expected for the integration, but users should understand that the agent may operate with the connected account's privileges.

Skill content
Membrane handles authentication and credentials refresh automatically
Recommendation

Connect the least-privileged account available and review requested actions before authorizing changes.

What this means

Installing a moving global CLI version can change behavior over time and depends on npm package provenance.

Why it was flagged

The setup uses a globally installed npm package with the moving @latest tag. It is purpose-aligned, but not pinned to a reviewed version.

Skill content
npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest
Recommendation

Install from a trusted environment, consider pinning a known CLI version, and review Membrane CLI provenance before use.

What this means

Contact, campaign, and account data may be processed through Membrane while using the integration.

Why it was flagged

Benchmark Email requests and responses may pass through Membrane as an integration gateway. This is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but it is a third-party data boundary users should notice.

Skill content
send requests directly to the Benchmark Email API through Membrane's proxy
Recommendation

Confirm that using Membrane as an integration gateway is acceptable for the sensitivity of the Benchmark Email data involved.
