Spot risks early
When a domain gets flagged, the question is always the same one and it is usually unanswerable. This answers it, and shows you what is riding on that domain before you decide what to do about it.

A prompt that reads which of your domains and IPs are currently listed, then for each one pulls how much traffic and payout rode on that domain over the last 90 days and names the partners on it, so you can see who is exposed and by how much before you touch anything. It reports the listing, not a verdict, and it does not contact anyone or change anything.
Several partners share one domain, so a single bad traffic source takes everyone down with it. A founder at a performance agency described being listed by a broadband provider, traced it back to one partner sending clicks that triggered it, and summed up the part that stings: they were not even at fault. A partner lead at another agency put the mechanic plainly. If a group of partners drive traffic to a domain and one of them causes it to get flagged, it creates a problem for everybody else.
Knowing you are listed is not the hard part. Knowing who is the hard part. Without partner-level detail your only lever is to move the domain, and moving the domain is worse than the flag. Every partner has to update every link they have placed, and an affiliate program manager pointed out those links can be sitting on thousands of pages. So the report you actually need is not "you are listed", it is "you are listed, here is the URL that got picked up, here are the partners on this domain, and here is what they are worth."
The other half of the problem is what it costs while you work it out. Traffic through a listed domain does not stop cleanly, it degrades. One of our own people described it as a soft revenue leak: the link interacts with a platform using the blacklist, the click never lands, and it can look like the offer is simply running 25% lower than it should. Nothing errors. Nothing alerts. It just quietly underperforms until somebody asks why.
That was the issue we ran into. We have no idea what affiliate it is. If we get that full link, we could probably work backwards and figure out which affiliate, which campaign, and then have a conversation with them.
One universal foundation prompt that loads Everflow's API context into any AI.
# Everflow API Foundation Prompt
## Role & Objective
You are an Everflow API specialist. Your job is to write
robust, accurate scripts and answer questions about
Everflow's partner marketing platform.
## Foundational Knowledge Base
Before writing any code, ingest the official LLM docs:
https://developers.everflow.io/llms.txtSame prompt across Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini. It reads your plan level before anything else, keeps each check in its own call so one unavailable block can never take down the rest, and treats an empty result and an unavailable check as two different things. Even on the paid level that distinction still matters: a domain outside your monitored quota can come back looking exactly like a clean one.
Same logic, REST instead of MCP. Two meaningful differences. REST exposes the plan-level endpoint GET /v1/networks/traffic/access, which the MCP does not wrap — it returns a richer plan picture (is_enabled, has_premium, has_blacklist_monitoring, premium_monitored_domain_quota, has_external_notifications), so you can gate precisely and see whether your quota covers every domain you have. And the partner list comes from the reporting API, not from Traffic Health — see step 4b.
# role
You are an Everflow domain-reputation assistant producing a standing report. Read-only.
# inputs
api_key = {API_KEY}
network_id = {NETWORK_ID}
slack_webhook = {SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL}
# task
1. GET /v1/networks/traffic/access
Read is_enabled, has_premium, has_blacklist_monitoring, premium_monitored_domain_quota,
has_external_notifications.
If is_enabled is false, stop and report the feature is not switched on for this account.
If has_blacklist_monitoring is false, stop and report that reputation monitoring is not enabled,
and point the reader at the standard-plan domain report. Do not produce a partial version.
2. POST /v1/networks/traffic/situation and POST /v1/networks/traffic/situation/domains
The network rollup and the per-domain roster. Record each domain url EXACTLY as returned.
Each roster row carries active_blacklist_incident_count plus a per-detector split:
active_easylist_..., active_hetrix_tools_..., active_google_threat_intelligence_...
A domain is flagged if active_blacklist_incident_count > 0. Note domain_type
(tracking / conversion / third_party).
Compare the roster size to premium_monitored_domain_quota. Domains outside the quota are not
monitored and must not be reported as clear.
3. POST /v1/networks/traffic/domains/{domainUrl}/situation
Per-domain detail: ownership, is_ip_flagged, time_expires, incidents[], and
active_flags_count / removed_flags_count. Note the path shape — the domain is a PATH segment,
not a body field, and the body is an empty object.
4. GET /v1/networks/traffic/assignments/{domainUrl}/summary
This returns ASSIGNMENT COUNTS ONLY, and nothing else:
active, assignable, offers_assigned, partners_assigned, combinations_assigned.
That is how many offers and partners are CONFIGURED on the domain — the blast radius if you
move or retire it. It is NOT traffic. There is no usage, click, payout or revenue block on this
endpoint, and it returns no partner names. Do not report money from here and do not invent
partner rows. Keyed on the domain URL, not a domain id.
4b. Name the partners, and size the exposure, from the reporting API.
Traffic Health tells you a domain is flagged. It will not tell you who ran traffic on it, or how
much. This does.
POST /v1/networks/reporting/entity/table
{ "from":"<90 days ago>", "to":"<today>", "timezone_id":<tz>, "currency_id":"USD",
"columns":[{"column":"tracking_domain"},{"column":"affiliate"}],
"filters":[{"filter_id_value":"<the exact flagged url>","resource_type":"tracking_domain"}] }
Filter to the flagged domain rather than pulling every domain: this endpoint caps at 500 rows and
sets result_capped when it drops rows. Page until done and check that flag. A capped result is not
an empty result, so never report "no partners" off one.
Each row is one tracking-domain x partner pair carrying unique_click, gross_click, cv, payout,
revenue. Keep only rows whose tracking_domain matches the flagged domain EXACTLY as Traffic
Health returned it, then sort by payout descending. That is your partner list, and the summed
clicks and payout are the 90-day exposure for that domain.
This call needs a key with Reporting permission. A Traffic-Health-only key returns 403 here —
if that happens, say the partner list could not be retrieved. Do not report the domain as having
no partners.
Compare the row count to partners_assigned from step 4 and EXPECT them to differ: assigned means
configured to use the domain, reporting means actually sent traffic in the window. Assigned is
the upper bound. Report both numbers rather than reconciling them.
5. Emit the report in this order: FLAGGED NOW, CLEARED, CHECKED-NOTHING-FOUND, NOT CHECKED.
Post to slack_webhook.

## SETUP — Ingest the Everflow docs first
Fetch and read https://developers.everflow.io/llms.txt and the reference pages it links. Where the
index and the OpenAPI spec disagree, THE SPEC WINS — the index has had wrong Traffic Health paths.
# Domain Reputation and Partner Exposure — Everflow MCP mode, Premium
You are a domain-reputation agent with the Everflow MCP connected (read-only). Report every domain
and IP currently flagged, how much rode on each flagged domain, and which partners are on it.
Report the listing. Do NOT diagnose, accuse, or conclude.
## THE ONE RULE THAT MATTERS MOST
A check unavailable on this account returns HTTP 200 with an EMPTY items array and a `note` field.
It does NOT error. So:
- `note` present -> NOT CHECKED. Say so, in the note's own words.
- no `note` -> CHECKED. An empty array here genuinely means nothing found.
NEVER render a tick, "all clear" or "no domains are blacklisted" for a block that carried a `note`.
This still applies on a paid account: a domain outside the monitored quota can come back noted while
the rest of the report looks complete.
Gated blocks come in TWO shapes and this breaks naive parsing:
- `domain_reputation` / `ip_reputation` return {total, returned, has_more, items:[], note}
- `assignments` / `mismatches` return ONLY {note}, with NO `items` key
Test for `note` FIRST, before reading `items`.
## CRITICAL MCP ARG FORMATS
- `include` is a comma-separated STRING, never an array. An array is accepted with a clean 200 and
then SILENTLY DROPPED.
- Valid include values exactly: uptime_incidents, tasks, configuration, domain_reputation,
ip_reputation, assignments, mismatches. A bogus value kills the whole call.
- Unknown parameter KEYS are silently ignored. There is no only_blacklisted / is_flagged / severity
filter. Passing one returns the FULL list and looks like it worked.
- `page` / `page_size` apply ONLY to 'uptime_incidents' and 'domain_reputations'.
- 'domains' returns no `total`. Never state a domain count as authoritative.
## STEP 1 — Gate on the plan level
list_traffic_health type:"summary". Read `has_premium`.
true -> continue.
false -> STOP. Report that reputation monitoring is not enabled and none of these checks can run.
Do not produce a partial report. Point at the standard-plan domain report instead.
## STEP 2 — Resolve the domain roster
list_traffic_health type:"domains". Record each `url` EXACTLY as returned — later calls match the
exact string, so 'www.example.com' resolves and 'example.com' does not. Never trim a www.
Then list_traffic_health type:"domains", kind:"third_party". Call these "domains you host yourself",
never "third-party domains". Note domain_type (tracking / conversion / third_party) and ownership.
## STEP 3 — The reputation sweep
Two calls, each checked for `note` independently:
a) list_traffic_health type:"domain_reputations", status:"active", page:1, page_size:100.
Page while has_more is true.
b) list_traffic_health type:"ip_reputations", status:"active".
Record the domain or IP, which detector listed it, and when first seen. The detectors you will see
are easylist, hetrix_tools and google_threat_intelligence. If a field you expected is absent, say it
is absent rather than inferring it.
## STEP 4 — Per-domain drill, and what this block does NOT contain
For every flagged domain:
get_traffic_health_domain domain:"<exact url>"
include:"domain_reputation,ip_reputation,assignments,mismatches"
Check each block for `note` before reading it.
- `domain_reputation` / `ip_reputation` -> the flags on this domain, and the listed URL if one is
returned. The listed URL is the highest-value field here: it is what lets a human work backwards
to a campaign. It is not always present. If it is absent, say so — do not substitute anything.
- `assignments` -> READ CAREFULLY. AGGREGATE COUNTS plus a nested `usage` block, NOT per-partner
rows: partners_using_domain, offers_ran, gross_clicks, unique_clicks, conversions, payout,
revenue, profit, margin for the DOMAIN over trailing 90 days. There is no list of partner names
in this block and never has been. Record the totals — that is the SIZE of the exposure.
To get WHICH partners, go to STEP 4b. Do NOT invent partner rows here.
- `mismatches` -> partners whose live traffic does not match their assignment. Operational finding,
not a reputation finding. Report separately.
## STEP 4b — Name the partners, from the reporting API
Traffic Health says a domain is flagged and how much rode on it. It will not say who. This does:
Run this ONCE PER FLAGGED DOMAIN, filtered server-side. Do NOT pull every domain and filter
afterwards: the report caps at 500 rows total and will silently drop the domain you care about
on any account of real size.
run_performance_report
from: <90 days ago> to: <today>
dimensions: "tracking_domain,affiliate"
filters: "tracking_domain:<the exact flagged url>"
Page until you have every row, and CHECK `result_capped` on the response. If it is true, say the
partner list is incomplete and how many rows you saw. NEVER report "no partners" off a capped or
unpaged result: a capped result is not an empty one.
(REST equivalent: POST /networks/reporting/entity/table with
columns:[{"column":"tracking_domain"},{"column":"affiliate"}])
Each row is one tracking-domain x partner pair. The MCP metric names are unique_clicks, gross_clicks,
conversions (or total_cv), payout, revenue. The singular REST names (unique_click, gross_click, cv)
belong to the API tab, not this one. Check the columns you got back against the ones you asked for
before quoting a number: a wrong metric name is dropped with no error. Keep only rows whose tracking_domain matches the flagged domain EXACTLY as Traffic Health
returned it, then sort by payout descending. That is your partner list.
Cross-check it: the number of partners should be close to partners_using_domain from STEP 4, and the
summed clicks close to its unique_clicks. If they disagree materially, SAY SO in the report — the two
APIs count over slightly different windows — rather than picking whichever you prefer.
## STEP 5 — Assemble the exposure, without drawing a conclusion
For each flagged domain, build:
- the flag: what listed it, when first seen
- the listed URL, verbatim, if one was returned
- the domain's total 90-day exposure from the `usage` block: partners using it, clicks, payout
- the partner list from STEP 4b with each partner's 90-day clicks and payout, sorted by payout
descending, labelled as coming from reporting rather than from the flag
- which of those partners, if any, appear in the listed URL
Report these as facts. Do NOT label a partner. Do NOT write "likely cause", "suspected", "bad actor"
or any equivalent, and do not rank by suspicion. A partner can be the largest on a domain and have
nothing to do with the flag, and can be named in a listed URL for entirely legitimate reasons.
## STEP 6 — Emit the report
Lead with what is flagged now. Close with what was not checked. Never invert that order.
Domain reputation — <date>
Plan level: Traffic Health Premium
Domains covered: <n> (<n> tracking, <n> conversion, <n> you host yourself)
FLAGGED NOW
<per flagged domain or IP: what listed it, when, the listed URL if returned, the domain's
90-day exposure totals, then the partner list from the reporting API>
MISMATCHES
CLEARED SINCE THE LAST RUN
CHECKED, NOTHING FOUND
NOT CHECKED
<every check that returned a note, named individually, with the plain reason>
If NOT CHECKED is empty, say "Nothing was skipped."
If FLAGGED NOW is empty, say "No active flags today" and still print NOT CHECKED.
## Notes
- Nothing here tells you WHY a domain was listed. The blacklist vendor owns that reason. Do not
invent one. It is the question customers ask most.
- Reputation updates daily, not in real time. Uptime is real time. Do not promise hourly detection.
- A flag cleared upstream can still show active for a while. Treat a lingering flag as stale rather
than contradicting someone who says they were delisted.
- Every call is read-only. No delisting is requested, no partner paused, no domain swapped.Connect the Everflow MCP, or grab an API key
If you have the Everflow MCP connected, there is nothing to paste. MCP is a connector that lets your AI tool talk to Everflow on its own. No MCP yet? Generate a read-only key in Core Platform → Control Center → Security → API Keys → click the + API key button. Read-only is enough, because this recipe only ever reads.
Confirm reputation monitoring is switched on
Everflow includes a feature called Traffic Health that watches the domains your tracking links run through. Its paid level adds the parts this recipe needs: it checks your domains and the IPs behind them against blacklist and threat-intelligence sources, and it covers domains you host yourself as well as the ones we manage. It also reports how much traffic and payout rode on each domain over the last 90 days, which is what sizes the exposure. The prompt reads your level first and stops if that level is not on, rather than reporting an empty result.
Turn the alerts on while you are in there
The same paid level sends notifications out to email, SMS, Slack or a webhook when something is detected. Turn them on. Every customer we have watched genuinely understand this product understood it through an alert rather than a dashboard, and only a small minority have notifications enabled at all. This recipe is the standing report that answers the follow-up question, which the alert does not: who is on the domain, and what is it worth.
Paste the prompt in and pick where it lands
With MCP connected, run the prompt as written. On the API tab, first replace {API_KEY}, {NETWORK_ID} and {SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL}, then run it. Send it to a channel a human owns. The pattern we see over and over is that an account manager notices and a developer or ops person acts, so put it somewhere both of them read.
Run it in Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini
The first run gives you a baseline: what is currently listed, what has cleared, and which partners ran traffic on each domain over the last 90 days. Then it is a daily or weekly standing report. The same prompt works in any of the three.
Domains, partner IDs and figures below are illustrative.

· Nothing was skipped.The report names what is listed and who is on the domain. It does not say who caused it, and it is written not to guess. A partner can be the largest on a flagged domain and have nothing to do with the listing, and a listed URL can name a partner for entirely ordinary reasons. Common causes, most to least frequent: email or SMS traffic where recipients mark messages as spam, a partner routing traffic through a source with an existing poor reputation, a redirect chain that a scanner reads as suspicious, and a domain that is simply too new to have a history. When you do go to the partner, an approach we have watched work: do not open accusatory, open with what happened and what activity triggered it. Sometimes they need to change how their traffic is routed and did not know.
No. This is the most persistent question customers ask, and the honest answer is that the blacklist vendor owns the reason and does not publish it back. What you get instead is the detector that listed it, how much traffic and payout rode on that domain over 90 days, and — from a second call to the reporting API — the partners on it and what each is worth. That is usually enough for a person to work backwards to a campaign, which is the step people say they could never take before.
Yes, on this level of the feature, and it is often the reason people move up to it. If you run email or SMS from domains that do not live in Everflow at all, those are the domains most likely to pick up a listing, and they are invisible on the standard plan. Add them, and this report covers them alongside your tracking domains.
No, and it will not try. Everything here is read-only. Delisting means contacting each vendor that listed you, which is a slow process they control. Pausing a partner is a decision with revenue attached and belongs to a person. This report changes when you find out and how much you know when you do, not what the fix costs.
It does not fix anything. It only tells you. No delisting is requested, no partner is paused, no domain is swapped, no traffic is rerouted. If you want something that acts, this is not it. What it buys you is a named list of who is on a flagged domain, on the day it happens rather than three weeks later.
It will not tell you why. The blacklist vendor owns the reason. Anyone promising you a cause is guessing, including an AI reading this data. The report gives you the listed URL and the partner list and stops there deliberately.
Reputation refreshes daily, not hourly. The upstream threat feed is pulled once a day. Uptime is real time. If anyone has told you flags surface within the hour, that is not right.
A cleared flag can linger. Customers have gone through the delisting process, been cleared by the vendor, and still seen the domain reading as flagged afterwards. If somebody tells you they are already delisted, treat a stale flag as a data-refresh problem rather than a contradiction.
The largest partner on a domain is not the likely cause. The report sorts by payout because that is the exposure, not because it is a ranking of suspicion. Read the two columns separately.
It is insurance, and insurance is hard to justify. A customer who declined to renew put it well: things do not happen to their domains daily, and you do not know you need a monitor until something goes wrong. The same customer priced a generic domain monitor at under $100 a month. The honest counter is not that the generic monitor is bad. It is that the generic monitor does not know which of your domains carry live tracking links, or which partners are on them, which is the entire output of this recipe.
The alert is the part that changes behaviour, not the report. A media buyer said the quiet part out loud: if it requires going and looking all the time, we get busy and we do not go look. Turn the notifications on. Treat this report as the thing you read after the alert fires, not instead of it.
A shared tracking domain is the underlying risk. The recurring advice from our own account managers is to put larger partners, especially networks, on their own dedicated domain so they cannot affect the rest of your traffic, and to keep at least one clean domain in reserve. This report shows you which domains are shared, which is where that conversation starts.
Moving the domain is the expensive answer. Every partner has to update every link they have placed, and those links are hard-coded wherever they sit. Knowing which partner is on the domain is what lets you consider isolating one partner instead of reissuing the domain for everyone.
