How Vinkius protects your data

Is there a risk of the AI "going crazy" and deleting important company data?

No. With Vinkius, the AI operates on "rails". It can only make the exact moves you authorized in the tool's settings. It cannot invent routes, access other networks in your company, or decide to delete random files. If the action isn't in the approved catalog, the attempt is blocked instantly.

How does the AI access my passwords and credentials?

It simply doesn't. On Vinkius, your passwords, API keys, and login details are kept in a secure vault. The AI (like ChatGPT or Claude) merely "asks" Vinkius to perform the task. Vinkius opens the door, does the work, and hands the result back to the AI. Your credentials are never seen, read, or learned by the artificial intelligence.

What happens if the underlying API rate limits my agent?

Our edge infrastructure automatically handles backoffs, queueing, and throttling. If an AI agent sends too many erratic requests, Vinkius manages the rate limits gracefully, ensuring your backend doesn't crash.

Can I upload files to a Figshare article using this integration?

Yes. You can use initiate_file_upload to start the process and complete_file_upload once the data transfer is finished. You can also use list_article_files to verify the contents of any article.
