Preview access · not provider authentication
The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of AI Hardware Risk Engine, so you can see the experience inside your AI.
It does not authenticate your account with AI Hardware Risk Engine. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ
Questions AI Hardware Risk Engine owners ask.
- 01
How do I calculate the risk of my current GPUs becoming obsolete?
You can use the calculate_obsolescence_risk capability. Provide the current GPU generation, the months remaining until the next-gen release, the expected performance uplift, and your standard refresh cycle. Capabilities available: calculate_obsolescence_risk_tool, estimate_refresh_investment_tool, determine_timing_strategy_tool.
- 02
Can this capability help with budgeting for new hardware?
Yes, the estimate_refresh_investment capability calculates the total investment required for a refresh, accounting for performance improvements that might allow for fewer units.
- 03
How does the capability determine the best time to upgrade?
The determine_timing_strategy capability weighs the risk of obsolescence against the cost of capital and current hardware utilization to recommend an action.
