Connect Ramp to Claude Code
Give Claude Code governed access to Ramp’s 124 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up

Connect Claude Code to Runlayer

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Claude Code

Claude Code can export OpenTelemetry logs to Runlayer for observe-only session reconstruction.
