Mission Control

See everything your Z.ai agents do in City of Amsterdam.

When Z.ai runs a tool in City of Amsterdam, it happens on Z.ai's side: you see the result, but not the request itself, what data it carried, or whether a rule was broken.

Now every move lands on your screen.

Every execution is recorded, enforced, and shown to you: what ran, what it returned, what was blocked, and why.

Request Volume & Latency

requests latency

Every request your Z.ai agents make through City of Amsterdam is logged, enforced and auditable. See how AI Governance turns agent activity into accountability, and what it means for your City of Amsterdam workflows.

What sets us apart

It's not just the Connector that stays safe. Everything your agents do through it is.

Connecting City of Amsterdam to your AI is step one. But an open line between your agents and City of Amsterdam is only half the story: without protection, every action they take runs unguarded.

That's why protection doesn't stop at the door.

Every action your agents take through the Connector runs inside our infrastructure: signed activity logs, automatic key rotation, spending limits that pause instead of surprise, and a sandbox that isolates every execution.

01

Tamper Proof Activity Log

Every request your agents make in City of Amsterdam is recorded and signed, so any change to the history becomes detectable.

02

Automatic Key Rotation

We rotate security keys every 24 hours. Your City of Amsterdam connection stays protected without any manual work.

03

Spending Protection

We enforce the spending limit you choose and pause actions that exceed it until approval is received. Your City of Amsterdam actions never surprise you.

04

Isolated Sandbox

Every execution through City of Amsterdam runs isolated, with 34+ security rules covering memory, CPU, network access, file handling and execution.

05

Security Event Streaming

Security events flow to Splunk, Datadog or your own webhook, so City of Amsterdam activity lands in the tools you already rely on.

06

Instant Resume

Idle connections resume in 3 to 5 ms while preserving their state, keeping your Z.ai sessions responsive.

07

Malicious File Protection

We detect compressed files designed to exhaust system resources and block them before they ever reach City of Amsterdam.

08

Credential Validation

We test your City of Amsterdam credentials before saving them. Invalid credentials are rejected instead of being stored.

09

Separate Usage Limits

Usage stays isolated per account, so activity in one connection never consumes another account's allowance.

One Connector, one link, and the whole operation is protected. Not just the connection: everything your agents do through it.

These guarantees are not add-ons: they are the infrastructure every City of Amsterdam connection runs on. Read how our infrastructure protects everything your Z.ai agents do, end to end.

FAQ

Z.ai access questions.

  • 01

    Does this work across my workspaces?

    Yes. Choose the User scope when adding the server and it's available in every workspace; Workspace scope keeps it in the current project only.

  • 02

    If I connect City of Amsterdam to Z.ai, can I use the same connection in Claude or ChatGPT later?

    Yes, and that's the point: the connection is yours, not Z.ai's. You paste the same link in any AI you use, and there's nothing new to set up or pay again. Connect a new AI and City of Amsterdam is already there.

  • 03

    What does ZCode need to connect to City of Amsterdam?

    Just the link. The hosted Connector handles access on our side, so you don't configure headers or tokens in ZCode. For remote services, the type is HTTP and the URL is your link.

  • 04

    What can I actually ask Z.ai to do with City of Amsterdam?

    Whatever the Connector covers: check data, run actions and bring answers back. The Connector page lists every capability your AI gains, with real examples you can copy.

  • 05

    Z.ai doesn't show the Connector. What do I check?

    Open Settings, MCP Servers and check the server is enabled, confirm the URL was pasted exactly as copied, and confirm the Connector is active in your Vinkius account. A deactivated Connector stops responding.

  • 06

    Can I remove the access later?

    Remove the server in Settings, MCP Servers and it's out of your work. Your Vinkius account keeps the connection and its history either way, ready for the next AI.
