Sounds like a bad clutch. I had an AP2 come in for a clutch change that exhibited the same problem but even worse. If you're lucky it could just be pedal free play needing adjustment but more likely than not it's the clutch itself.

The rubber boot that goes over the fork is more important than people realize for clutch longevity.

I would also look at replacing the release bearing guide. A new clutch fork(they're not expensive) and the cage/hanger for it.

One less thing that rattles is always good.
I agree with that point on the rubber boot being important. It shouldn't be overlooked.

Can't stress the need for Honda UREA grease enough! Use it. It's proper
