FAQ

Clear questions, clear boundaries.

Question

Is Virasai AI a SaaS platform?

No. Virasai AI is the commercial arm of VaHive Systems Lab, carrying research into products, open-source work, and services. Sentinel is open source, MAGUS Core is waitlist-only, and Cloud Proxy remains a future concept.

Question

What is Sentinel?

Sentinel is an open-source tool for deterministic, non-executing evidence and change monitoring for public npm MCP servers. It analyzes an exact artifact, records what it declares, and can compare releases. The same repository includes a self-hosted Watch monitor.

Question

Is Sentinel free?

Yes. Sentinel is free and complete; there is no withheld tier. Use is governed by the licence and notices in its repository.

Question

Does Sentinel tell me whether a package is safe?

No. Sentinel produces evidence and change records. It does not execute package code, assign a safety verdict, or replace an operator’s policy decision. Read the repository limitations before relying on a report.

Question

Do you work with teams that do not use your code?

Yes. Services are scoped around governance and drift audits, adversarial issues registers, and embedded advisory work. We state assessment limits before an engagement starts.

Question

Are the research papers product claims?

No. The Zenodo publications are preprints describing proposed frameworks and architectures. They should be read as research, not product certification or proof of deployment.
