Security & Code Integrity Audit
Every tool in the Solcast Solar MCP Server is continuously audited by the Vinkius Security Engine. We guarantee zero-trust payload isolation, strict data boundaries, and deterministic execution for enterprise-grade AI agents.
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.
What parameters do I need to get a rooftop PV forecast?
At minimum, you need: latitude, longitude, and system capacity (kW). For more accurate forecasts, also provide tilt (panel angle 0-90°), azimuth (panel direction 0°=north, 180°=south), and loss_factor (system efficiency 0-1, default ~0.9). If you don't know tilt/azimuth, Solcast will auto-estimate reasonable defaults based on your location.
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.
