How Vinkius protects your data

Can I set different limits for each virtual assistant on my team?

Absolutely. You have full control in our command center. You can create an AI agent that only "reads" data so the support team can answer questions, and another superpowered agent that can "edit" and "create" information exclusively for your operations team. Each AI gets exactly the level of access you allow.

Can I audit what my AI agents are doing with this integration?

Yes, Vinkius provides an immutable, HMAC-chained audit log. Every tool execution, payload, and response is tracked in real-time on your dashboard, giving you complete visibility into your agent's actions.

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.

Can I search for items specifically in a format like 'maps' or 'audio'?

Yes! Use the search_format tool and specify the format parameter (e.g., 'maps', 'photos', 'audio') along with your query to get targeted results.
