Find specific tickets using keywords or filters for a specific team. This helps you quickly locate tasks without digging through boards.
Create comment
Post a new comment on an issue using Markdown and @mentions. This lets you share updates with teammates directly from your chat.
Create issue
Generate a new ticket with a title, description, priority, and labels. This makes it easy to log bugs the moment you find them.
List cycles
View all sprint cycles for a team, including their progress and dates. This gives you a quick look at how much work is left in a sprint.
Get issue
Fetch every detail for a specific ticket using its ID or human-readable key. Use this to get the full context of a bug or task.
Get project
Retrieve the full details and status for a specific project. This helps you see the high-level goals of your work.
List issues
Get a list of all tickets, with an optional filter for a specific team. This is perfect for getting a quick overview of the current backlog.
List labels
See all the labels used for categorizing issues across your workspace. This helps you keep your organization consistent.
List projects
Browse all active projects across multiple teams with a result limit. This lets you see the broader scope of the company's work.
List teams
Discover all teams in your workspace to find the right IDs for queries. Use this to understand the team structure of your organization.
Update issue
Modify specific fields on an existing ticket using its unique UUID. This allows you to change status or assignees in seconds.
Get viewer
Check which account the current API token belongs to for verification. This is a quick way to confirm your connection is correct.
A Connector is a URL. Vinkius runs it: hosting, security, governance, observability.
You're looking at one of 5,800+ managed Connectors. The real value isn't the catalog. It's the control plane that secures, governs, audits, and manages every interaction between your agents and the tools they use.
No Shadow AI
Every agent action is visible, approved, and auditable. Nothing runs outside your governance.
Absolute agent control
Fine-grained permissions for every agent, MCP, and tool. Instantly revoke access and audit every execution.
Cost control per token
Spend broken down to the token, tool, and agent. Budgets and hard limits. No surprise invoices.
Managed & monitored infra
We operate the runtime, authentication, scaling, retries, and monitoring. Your team manages AI, not infrastructure.
Data protection, DLP by design
Sensitive data is filtered before reaching the model. Access is governed so agents receive only the information they're allowed to use.
Token optimization, real savings
Lower AI costs by delivering the right context instead of unnecessary tools. Better accuracy, faster responses, and fewer wasted tokens.

Engineering Manager
Checks sprint health and pulls issue summaries during standups without opening a browser.
Software Developer
