Connect Honeycomb to ChatGPT
Give ChatGPT governed access to Honeycomb’s 38 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Honeycomb to ChatGPT in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in ChatGPT then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Add Honeycomb to Runlayer
Honeycomb isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.
Adding a connector manually - 2
Connect ChatGPT to Runlayer
Admins publish the Runlayer Plugin and its skill to the whole ChatGPT organization. With direct tool listing turned on for your deployment, Honeycomb’s 38 tools show up in ChatGPT’s own tool list.

Sign in to Honeycomb
Sign in the way Honeycomb requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

Use Honeycomb from ChatGPT
Honeycomb’s approved tools appear in ChatGPT. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.
Tools
38 Honeycomb tools in ChatGPT
Runlayer policy decides which of these ChatGPT users can call.
Canvas agent invoke
Kick off a single-turn run of the Honeycomb Canvas agent.
Canvas agent poll response
Poll for the result of a previously-issued canvas_agent_invoke call.
Create board
Create a board (dashboard) with query, SLO, and text panels.
Create burn alert
Create a burn alert on an SLO.
Create marker
Creates a marker (a vertical annotation on charts) to mark a point or window in time, such as a deploy, incident, or config change.
Create recipient
Create a notification recipient (email, Slack, PagerDuty, or webhook) so it can be attached to triggers, SLO burn alerts, and Anomaly Detection.
Create slo
Create an SLO (Service Level Objective) backed by an auto-created SLI derived column.
Create trigger
Create a trigger that fires alerts when a query result crosses a threshold.
Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in ChatGPT
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what ChatGPT exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Honeycomb call from ChatGPT passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, ChatGPT as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Compliance API import (available)
OpenAI Compliance Logs Platform imports ChatGPT web chats for review.
Managed browser extension (available)
Managed Chrome, Edge, and Firefox deployments can monitor supported web-chat activity and apply prompt-time controls where the surface permits it.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for ChatGPT yet, so control happens at the gateway.
