Mission Control

See everything your Windsurf agents do in Expansion Joint Design.

When Windsurf runs a tool in Expansion Joint Design, it happens in your editor: 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 Windsurf agents make through Expansion Joint Design is logged, enforced and auditable. See how AI Governance turns agent activity into accountability, and what it means for your Expansion Joint Design workflows.

What sets us apart

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

Connecting Expansion Joint Design to your AI is step one. But an open line between your agents and Expansion Joint Design 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 Expansion Joint Design is recorded and signed, so any change to the history becomes detectable.

02

Automatic Key Rotation

We rotate security keys every 24 hours. Your Expansion Joint Design 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 Expansion Joint Design actions never surprise you.

04

Isolated Sandbox

Every execution through Expansion Joint Design 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 Expansion Joint Design 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 Windsurf sessions responsive.

07

Malicious File Protection

We detect compressed files designed to exhaust system resources and block them before they ever reach Expansion Joint Design.

08

Credential Validation

We test your Expansion Joint Design 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 Expansion Joint Design connection runs on. Read how our infrastructure protects everything your Windsurf agents do, end to end.

FAQ

Windsurf access questions.

  • 01

    Where does this work?

    In Cascade: the MCPs icon or Settings, Cascade, MCP Servers, with the config in ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and the serverUrl field for remote servers.

  • 02

    If I connect Expansion Joint Design to Gemini, can I use the same connection in Claude or ChatGPT later?

    Yes, and that's the point: the connection is yours, not Gemini'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 Expansion Joint Design is already there.

  • 03

    Do I need to hand my Expansion Joint Design password to Gemini?

    Never. You sign in once at Vinkius, and we keep your logins encrypted and away from your AI. Gemini only ever sees the link, and you can remove it whenever you want.

  • 04

    What can I actually ask Gemini to do with Expansion Joint Design?

    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

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

    Make sure the entry was saved in mcp_config.json with the serverUrl pasted exactly as copied, then confirm the Connector is active in your Vinkius account. A deactivated Connector stops responding.

  • 06

    Can I remove the access later?

    Remove the entry from mcp_config.json and it's out of Cascade. Your Vinkius account keeps the connection and its history either way, ready for the next AI.
