Confirmed
Confirmed means the vendor documents it (linked). It doesn't mean IonBin has tested it. AI-platform and human steps need no source.

You decide what to cancel.

Keep the human approval step: You decide what to cancel.
Starter prompt
Goal: Find shadow AI and wasted seats before renewal season. Tools involved: 1Password SaaS Manager, Ramp (alternative). Your part: returns discovered apps and usage; returns card spend by vendor; flags duplicates, unused seats and unapproved ai tools. Work step by step, show me each draft or proposed change, and wait for my approval before anything is sent, published, signed, filed or changed in a live system.

Computed from the MCP and API steps only: "Confirmed" needs the tool's docs to name the platform and the platform to support the connection. Browser, upload and human steps work from any platform.
What we checked
1Password SaaS Manager MCP. The SaaS Manager APIs are available through a remote or local MCP server. An administrator first logs in to SaaS Manager and creates an API client with client credentials. The remote server allows only read-only actions, which suits an audit. The MCP page doesn’t say which plans include SaaS Manager, so check with 1Password.
Ramp MCP is in beta and connects Ramp to assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude. It can search transactions, pull spend exports and query vendors and accounting categories. Most company-wide tools, including spend exports and vendor management, need admin or business-owner permissions; employees see only their own data. Ramp also offers a demo server with sample data.
Set it up
Connect SaaS Manager or Ramp with an admin account, read-only where you can.
Ask for every software and AI vendor paid in the last 90 days, with seats and owners where known.
Have your AI platform flag duplicates (two tools doing the same job), seats nobody used, and AI tools nobody approved.
Decide what to cancel or consolidate yourself, and check renewal dates before you act.
