03 · Actions and write paths

The targeted review confirmed this Semrush capability surface: Secure access to public Semrush APIs for SEO metrics, traffic insights, market trends and related datasets. It did not normalize every mutation tool. Treat writes as unapproved until each current tool, scope, plan and approval behavior is verified.

04 · Authentication and permissions

For Semrush, the audited authentication model is: Authentication model is documented by the vendor; inspect the cited source before implementation. The effective permission model is: Existing vendor identity, account, tenant, and permission controls should be treated as the authorization boundary. Reconfirm the cited first-party source before implementation.

05 · Monitoring, approval, and recovery
