The AI Catalog provides a centralized inventory of AI tools detected and supported by Verax.
It helps administrators discover AI usage, understand the risk associated with each tool, and control which AI tools are available to users.
The catalog includes both tools supported by Verax and AI tools discovered through user activity.
Note
AI tool discovery requires AI traffic to be routed through Verax. Tools that do not pass through Verax cannot be detected or monitored.
AI Tools
The AI Tools page lists all AI tools known to Verax.
For each tool, Verax displays information such as:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Name | AI tool or service name. |
Vendor | Organization providing the tool. |
Overall Risk | Verax's calculated risk rating for the tool. |
Categories | One or more categories describing the tool's primary capabilities. |
Some tools may also display badges such as New, indicating recently added catalog entries.
Active Tools
The Active tools indicator shows how many AI tools were used during the selected time range.
This helps distinguish between:
The complete AI catalog maintained by Verax.
AI tools actively used within your organization.
Risk Assessment
Each AI tool receives an overall risk rating based on multiple factors, including:
Vendor characteristics
Data handling practices
Security posture
Available governance controls
Other risk indicators maintained by Verax
The risk score helps administrators prioritize which tools require additional review or governance.
Filtering the Catalog
You can filter the catalog by:
Tool
Overall risk
Vendor
Additional filters may be available depending on your deployment.
Managing AI Tools
Selecting an AI tool opens a detailed view containing additional information, including:
Tool description
Supported capabilities
Categories
Risk information
Connected MCP servers (when applicable)
Additional governance information
Relationship to Policies
The AI Catalog provides visibility into AI tools available within your environment.
Rules determine how users interact with those tools.
For example, you can create rules to:
Restrict access to specific tools.
Apply different policies to different user groups.
Control file uploads or generated content.
Enforce content inspection and data protection policies.
MCPs
The MCPs page provides an inventory of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers available in your environment.
For each MCP server, Verax displays:
Available tools
Risk level
Number of users
Usage statistics
Last activity
Selecting an MCP server displays the available MCP tools and their capabilities, including action type, data domain, risk level, whether the action is destructive, and whether its effects extend outside your organization's boundary.
Summary
The AI Catalog provides a centralized inventory of AI tools and MCP servers available within your environment.
By combining discovery, risk assessment, and governance, Verax helps organizations understand their AI landscape and make informed decisions about AI adoption and control.
