Manage more controls from the Vanta Agent and MCP
Manage more of your controls from the Vanta Agent and MCP
Keeping your controls library tidy no longer means leaving your agent workflow. Authorized users can now handle more control tasks from the in-app Vanta Agent or any tool connected through MCP, with existing permissions applied.
Custom controls
Delete them: Remove custom controls along with their framework, test, and evidence mappings. Only custom controls can be deleted. Vanta-managed controls and Vanta controls your org has modified are rejected, with a reason for each. Deletions are recorded in the event log and attributed to the person who made them.
Common controls (MCP)
See where they stand: Retrieve a common control’s details and current status
Keep them current: Update supported fields, and fields you don’t mention stay unchanged
Categorize consistently: List the available subdomains
Retire what no longer applies: Deactivate common controls as your program changes
Deactivated controls Review past decisions: Retrieve an individual deactivated control, with its details and state, through the Agent or MCP. It’s strictly read-only, so nothing is reactivated or changed --- Availability: MCP users, per appropriate access levels
