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 · 8 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 02

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 8 available through PAN-OS.

  1. 01

    Get nat rules

    This capability lists all NAT rules on the firewall. Use it to audit your NAT setup or find why specific traffic isn't routing correctly.

  2. 02

    Get pending changes

    This capability checks for uncommitted configuration changes. Use it to see if your candidate config matches the running config before you commit.

  3. 03

    Get security rules

    This capability retrieves all security rules configured on the firewall. It's built for auditing access controls and reviewing policy usage.

  4. 04

    Get traffic logs

    This capability pulls recent traffic logs from the firewall. You can use it to identify blocked connections or analyze network patterns.

Capability set02 / 02

05-08

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 8 available through PAN-OS.

  1. 05

    Get system info

    This capability provides the current status and system information for the PAN-OS firewall. Use it to check software versions or general health.

  2. 06

    Commit

    This capability activates your candidate configuration by committing it to the running configuration. It returns a job ID to track the status.

  3. 07

    Get active sessions

    This capability lists all active network sessions. Use it to monitor real-time activity or find heavy users on the network.

  4. 08

    Get threat logs

    This capability retrieves recent threat logs, including source and destination IPs and severity. Use it to investigate security incidents.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Rapid Incident Response

Ask your agent to pull threat logs immediately after an alert to see the source and destination IPs.

02

Policy Auditing

Have your agent list all security rules to check for any overly permissive access controls.

03

Connectivity Troubleshooting

Use the agent to check NAT rules and traffic logs when a user reports a connection issue.

04

Configuration Deployment

Verify pending changes with your agent before running a commit to push new settings live.

Automate a task

Put PAN-OS to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

PAN-OS 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 PAN-OS 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.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 8 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

It does not authenticate your account with PAN-OS. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
