FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI fix a device's security settings?

    No. The AI can only read data from Vanta. You must manually fix encryption or antivirus issues on the actual devices.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete users from Vanta?

    No. This MCP only provides read access to list computers and people. It cannot modify or delete any records in Vanta.

  • 03

    Does the AI see all my company data?

    No. It only sees the data provided by the specific tools in the Vanta MCP, which are limited to computer and person lists.

  • 04

    How often is the device data updated?

    The AI pulls live data from Vanta whenever you ask a question, so you see the most recent information available in your dashboard.

  • 05

    Can I use this to run a full SOC 2 audit?

    The AI can help you gather the data needed for an audit, but it does not perform the audit itself or generate official compliance reports.
