A Connector is a URL. Vinkius runs it: hosting, security, governance, observability.
You're looking at one of 5,800+ managed Connectors. 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.
No Shadow AI
Every agent action is visible, approved, and auditable. Nothing runs outside your governance.
Absolute agent control
Fine-grained permissions for every agent, MCP, and tool. Instantly revoke access and audit every execution.
Cost control per token
Spend broken down to the token, tool, and agent. Budgets and hard limits. No surprise invoices.
Managed & monitored infra
We operate the runtime, authentication, scaling, retries, and monitoring. Your team manages AI, not infrastructure.
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.
Token optimization, real savings
Lower AI costs by delivering the right context instead of unnecessary tools. Better accuracy, faster responses, and fewer wasted tokens.
