Verify email addresses before they enter outbound sequences to prevent bounces and protect sender reputation. Use when the user wants to validate emails, check deliverability, verify contact data, prevent bounces, clean a list, or ensure their outreach list is safe to send. Triggers on: \"verify emails\", \"validate this list\", \"check if these emails are real\", \"email verification\", \"bounce prevention\", \"clean my list\", \"are these safe to send\", or any request to confirm email…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Contact Verification

## Overview

Verification is the gate between finding emails and sending to them. Skipping it
is the single most expensive mistake in outbound — a 5% bounce rate triggers
automated spam filtering at every major inbox provider. Recovery takes months.

The rule: every email address entering a sequence must pass verification first.
No exceptions. Verify when you find, re-verify every 90 days, and always verify
before a new campaign launches.

## When to Use

- \"Verify these emails before we send\"
- \"Check if these addresses are deliverable\"
- \"Clean my prospect list\"
- \"Are these safe to send to?\"
- \"Validate this CSV of contacts\"
- \"What's the bounce risk on this list?\"

Do NOT use for:
- Finding new emails — use email-finding first
- Deliverability infrastructure setup — use email-deliverability
- General list hygiene beyond email — use list-building

## Authoritative Foundations

Email verification is grounded in established deliverability practices.
Industry consensus across major sending platforms (Google Workspace, M365,
Smartlead, Instantly) converges on a bounce rate ceiling of 2% for cold

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add leadmagic/gtm-skills/contact-verification@sha256:4f9e6d2578b60f2b

The line at the top of this page pins the label \"1.0.0\", which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
