# Shared Folder Access Audit AI Agent Connect > Shared Folder Access Audit MCP reconciles your real-time folder permissions against approved access lists. It identifies unauthorized users, flags expired permissions, and monitors external sharing risks to keep your data secure. Your AI client uses these tools to scan for discrepancies and build remediation plans to clean up access rights. ## Overview - **Category:** security - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_Kdz5PtcHDgUDCzML6l3hMyDwmGnSE8Zg8KhtlrTu/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** permissions, access-control, compliance, folder-security, audit-logs ## Description Managing folder permissions manually is a losing game. As teams grow and projects end, permissions often linger long after they should have been revoked. This MCP gives your AI agent the ability to audit your file structure and find exactly where your security is slipping. You can use it to catch users who still have access to sensitive folders they shouldn't, or to find external accounts that were granted access for a one-time task but never removed. Instead of manually checking every folder, you tell your AI client to run an audit. It compares what is actually happening in your file system against your official permission lists. If there is a mismatch, the AI finds it. If a permission has passed its expiration date, the AI flags it. It even helps you build a cleanup plan so you can fix these issues without guessing which accounts to remove. It turns a tedious manual audit into a direct conversation with your data. ## Tools ### audit_access_expiry This tool finds active permissions that have already passed their set expiration date. It helps you catch stale access that should have been revoked. ### audit_access_integrity This tool checks for mismatches between current folder access and your approved permission list. It identifies users who have access they weren't granted. ### audit_external_risk This tool isolates access granted to users outside your organization. It lets you see exactly how much data is exposed to external parties. ### audit_remediation_plan This tool builds a specific list of cleanup actions. It uses the findings from other audits to tell you exactly what needs to be fixed. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Check for any unauthorized access in folder 'folder_123'. ``` **Response:** ``` Unauthorized access detected in folder 'folder_123': User 'user_99' has 'Editor' access but is not in the approved access list. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Are there any expired permissions for folder 'folder_456' as of 2024-01-01T00:00:00Z? ``` **Response:** ``` Yes, user 'user_42' has expired access to folder 'folder_456' (expired on 2023-12-15). ``` **Prompt:** ``` Identify external sharing risks for folder 'folder_789'. ``` **Response:** ``` External sharing risk found: User 'ext_user_01' (external) has 'Viewer' access to folder 'folder_789'. ``` ## Capabilities ### Permission Reconciliation Your agent compares live folder access against authorized lists to find discrepancies. ### Expiration Tracking The AI identifies permissions that have exceeded their allowed timeframe. ### External Exposure Monitoring Your client isolates and reports on access granted to users outside your organization. ### Automated Remediation Planning The AI generates a step-by-step cleanup strategy based on identified security risks. ## Use Cases ### Post-Project Cleanup After a contractor finishes a project, use the MCP to ensure all their external access is actually gone. ### Compliance Auditing Run regular integrity checks to prove that folder access matches your organization's security policies. ### Security Gap Detection Find users who have gained access to sensitive folders through misconfigurations or unauthorized changes. ### Permission Expiry Management Automatically identify and plan the removal of permissions that have passed their expiration threshold. ## Benefits - Identifies unauthorized users by comparing live access to approved lists. - Flags expired permissions to prevent stale access from lingering. - Monitors external sharing to reduce data exposure risks. - Creates actionable cleanup plans to fix security gaps quickly. ## How It Works Connect your AI client to the Vinkius-hosted MCP and start auditing via natural language. 1. Connect your preferred MCP-compatible client to Vinkius. 2. Ask your AI agent to run an audit on specific folders or permissions. 3. The AI uses the MCP tools to scan access, expiry, and external risks. 4. Review the discrepancies or risks identified by the AI. 5. Request a remediation plan to execute the necessary cleanup. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How does this MCP find unauthorized access?** It uses the audit_access_integrity tool to compare the current folder permissions against a list of approved users. **Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?** Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf. **What happens if a permission has expired?** The audit_access_expiry tool identifies any active permissions that have passed their expiration date. **How do I fix the security issues found?** You can use the audit_remediation_plan tool to generate a specific list of cleanup actions based on the risks found. **Does this help with external data leaks?** Yes, the audit_external_risk tool specifically isolates access granted to users outside your organization. **How do I identify users who should no longer have access?** You can use `audit_access_expiry` to find users whose access has expired, or `audit_access_integrity` to find users who are not on the approved access list. **Can I detect external users sharing my folders?** Yes, the `audit_external_risk` tool specifically isolates access granted to users outside your organization. **How do I get a list of recommended cleanup actions?** Run the `audit_remediation_plan` tool to receive a list of recommended removals based on identified security risks.
