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.

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.

Does the AI train on my tools or API data?

No. Vinkius enforces a strict Zero-Retention policy. Your data simply passes through our secure servers to complete the requested action and is instantly forgotten. Nothing you do here is ever stored, logged, or used to train any artificial intelligence.

How do I get a FRED API key?

Free and instant! Go to fredaccount.stlouisfed.org/apikeys, create a free account (no credit card), click 'Request API Key', and copy the 32-character key. Takes under 60 seconds.
