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.

What if the AI ends up reading customer data or confidential information?

We have a built-in digital "bodyguard" called DLP (Data Loss Prevention). If a tool fetches data and the response contains social security numbers, credit cards, or personal customer info, Vinkius magically blocks and erases that information before it is delivered to the AI. The AI works only with what is strictly necessary, and your sensitive data never leaks.

Can I search for researchers by their institution or specific keywords?

Yes! Use the expanded_search tool with a Solr query like affiliation-name:"University of Oxford" to find researchers associated with specific organizations along with their profile details.
