What AI agents can do with Box MCP: 7 Tools for Enterprise Content Management

Use these tools to search files, manage folders, and audit permissions in your Box account.

List folder items

See what's inside a folder including sizes and types. This helps you get an overview of your directory contents quickly.

Get folder info

Pull specific details about a folder's properties. Use this to check the basic status of a directory.

Create folder

Make a new folder in a specific location or the root. This lets you organize your storage on the fly.

Get file info

Get the metadata and details for a specific file. You can use this to see file stats and custom tags.

Search content

Find files using text, extensions, or folder locations. This is your primary way to locate documents across the platform.

Get folder collaborations

See a list of everyone who has access to a folder. It's the best way to audit permissions for sensitive data.

List users

See every user in your enterprise account. Use this to manage or review your organization's members.

One MCP enables access. Vinkius turns MCPs into production-ready infrastructure.

You're looking at one of 5,700+ managed MCPs. The real value isn't the catalog. It's the control plane that secures, governs, audits, and manages every interaction between your agents and the tools they use.

01

No Shadow AI

Every agent action is visible, approved, and auditable. Nothing runs outside your governance.

02

Absolute agent control

Fine-grained permissions for every agent, MCP, and tool. Instantly revoke access and audit every execution.

03

Cost control per token

Spend broken down to the token, tool, and agent. Budgets and hard limits. No surprise invoices.

04

Managed & monitored infra

We operate the runtime, authentication, scaling, retries, and monitoring. Your team manages AI, not infrastructure.

05

Data protection, DLP by design

Sensitive data is filtered before reaching the model. Access is governed so agents receive only the information they're allowed to use.

06

Token optimization, real savings

Lower AI costs by delivering the right context instead of unnecessary tools. Better accuracy, faster responses, and fewer wasted tokens.
