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 Mine Operating Cost Estimator.

  1. 01

    Analyze cost composition

    This capability breaks down specific cost categories. It shows how labor, energy, consumables, and maintenance contribute to a budget bucket.

  2. 02

    Calculate total operating costs

    This capability calculates the total annual operating cost and the cost per tonne. It works based on your specific mine configuration.

  3. 03

    Compare mine types

    This capability compares cost structures between two different mine types. It evaluates them against the same production volume.

  4. 04

    Validate production feasibility

    This capability checks if a production rate is sustainable. It verifies if your targets align with a given annual budget.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Method Selection

Compare the cost of open pit versus underground mining for the same volume of ore.

02

Budget Planning

Verify if a proposed production increase is financially possible under current budget limits.

03

Cost Auditing

Analyze the specific breakdown of energy and labor costs within a single budget category.

04

Economic Modeling

Generate total annual operating costs for new mine configurations.

One connector, every AI

Mine Operating Cost Estimator 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.
