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.

FAQ

Questions US College Admission Estimator owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP calculate admission chances?

    It uses a three-step process: calculating a weighted composite score from GPA and tests, adjusting that score for residency and extracurriculars, and then mapping it to specific university tiers.

  • 02

    Does GPA or SAT/ACT matter more?

    The scoring engine weights GPA more heavily than test scores to reflect how real admissions offices evaluate applicants.

  • 03

    Can I use this if I am applying test-optional?

    Yes. The capability allows you to calculate a composite score using only your weighted GPA if you do not have test scores.

  • 04

    What are the different university tiers?

    The estimator provides probabilities for three tiers: Elite Private, Flagship Public State, and Mid-Sized Private.

  • 05

    How does being an in-state student affect my score?

    The adjust_for_contextual_modifiers capability applies a residency modifier that can increase your admission probability at public universities.

  • 06

    Do I need both SAT and ACT scores to get an estimate?

    No. The calculate_applicant_score capability accepts either your SAT composite (400-1600) or your ACT total (1-36), or even just your weighted GPA alone. It weights everything into a 0-100 score so you get a solid baseline no matter what data you have.

  • 07

    How does residency status change my admission odds?

    Public universities heavily favor in-state applicants. When you pass your composite score through the adjust_for_contextual_modifiers capability with In-State residency, the adjusted score goes up. Out-of-State gets a smaller bump, and International status applies a slight reduction. This mirrors how real admissions committees weigh state residency.

  • 08

    Can I estimate chances at specific named universities?

    Not by individual school name -- not yet. The estimate_admission_probability capability groups schools into three tiers: Elite Private, Flagship Public State, and Mid-Sized Private. You get percentages for real universities within each tier, which gives you a practical safety/match/reach breakdown to plan your application list.

  • 09

    What counts as my weighted GPA?

    Your weighted GPA factors in AP, IB, or honors class rigor. It can go up to 5.0 (or even higher at some schools). Just enter whatever your high school reports -- the calculate_applicant_score capability normalizes it into a fair composite that plays well with both tested and test-optional profiles.
