Connect Ashby ATS to Claude
Give Claude governed access to Ashby ATS’s 16 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Ashby ATS to Claude in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Claude then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve Ashby ATS in Runlayer
Add Ashby ATS from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect Claude to Runlayer
Admins install the Runlayer Plugin for everyone from Claude’s admin plugin settings, or users add it themselves. With direct tool listing turned on for your deployment, Ashby ATS’s 16 tools show up in Claude’s own tool list.

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Claude
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Claude exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Ashby ATS call from Claude passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, Claude as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Anthropic inference hooks (available)
With Claude Enterprise, Anthropic sends each governed Claude prompt to Runlayer before inference, with nothing installed on devices (Anthropic beta).
Compliance API import (available)
Anthropic Compliance API imports Claude web and desktop 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.
Stop a call before it runs (available)
Runlayer can reject a Claude prompt before Anthropic runs it, which stops the whole request rather than one tool call.
Block output after it runs (available)
Because Runlayer checks the full prompt, tool results in it can be blocked before the model sees them.
Redact output in place (not available)
Anthropic Inference hooks cannot return a rewritten prompt, so Runlayer cannot mask content in Claude. The gateway still applies policy to the call.
