- Worth noticing
- The sample Meta entry identifies trap fg-0060 and contrasts a dropped standard Lead event with a custom event shown as confirmed.
Field notes
The installation examples support Claude Code directly and show an HTTP MCP endpoint for other clients. The sample registry entry includes a trap ID, a verification date, and a trust score; the page also says the data licence is CC BY 4.0. Verification and moderation procedures are described by the site, rather than independently demonstrated in the extracted material.
