How does the MCP handle agent timeouts?

You can use the refresh_gate_states capability to advance the state of pending actions and transition them to an EXPIRED state based on your auto-approval rules.

Can I set different risk levels for different tasks?

Yes, you can submit tasks with LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, or CRITICAL risk levels using the register_action capability.

What clients can I use with this MCP?

You can connect this MCP to any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.

How do I know if an agent is waiting for me?

Your agent can use the check_action_status capability to determine if a specific action is currently waiting for a decision.

Yes, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP, so it is ready to use immediately after you connect your client.

How does the risk-based approval work?

Every action is assigned a risk level. CRITICAL actions always require human intervention, while LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH actions can be configured to auto-approve after a specific timeout using register_action rules.

Can I check if an action is still pending?

Yes, you can use the check_action_status capability to retrieve the current status, whether human input is required, and the remaining timeout duration.

What happens if a human doesn't respond in time?

If the timeout period defined in your auto-approval rules passes, the action status will transition to EXPIRED via the refresh_gate_states process.

MCP VERIFIED · PRODUCTION READY · VINKIUS GUARANTEED

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 4 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Human Approval Gate Manager.

01
Check action status
This capability checks if a specific action is currently waiting for you, has already been decided, or has timed out.
02
Register action
Use this to submit a new task into the approval gate so the system can start monitoring its risk level.
03
Refresh gate states
This maintenance capability moves pending actions forward and transitions timed-out tasks to an EXPIRED state based on your rules.
04
Submit human decision
This capability lets you manually approve or reject a pending request to move the workflow forward.

Real work

What teams actually run

Cloud Infrastructure Management

An agent attempts to spin up expensive server instances, triggering a HIGH risk approval gate.

Database Maintenance

You use the MCP to gate any agent command that involves dropping tables or deleting records.

Financial Transactions

The system holds any agent-initiated payment request with a CRITICAL risk level for your manual sign-off.

Automated Software Deployment

The agent moves through low-risk testing phases automatically but stops for human approval before production pushes.

One connector, every AI

Human Approval Gate Manager works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Human Approval Gate Manager to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Human Approval Gate Manager, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Human Approval Gate Manager. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
