Set up

Add Omni to Cline CLI in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Cline CLI then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Add Omni to Runlayer

    Omni isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.

    Adding a connector manually
  2. 2

    Connect Cline CLI to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Cline CLI by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Cline CLI reaches Omni’s 25 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Omni

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

  4. 4

    Use Omni from Cline CLI

    Omni’s approved tools appear in Cline CLI. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

25 Omni tools in Cline CLI

Runlayer policy decides which of these Cline CLI users can call.

  • Ask Omni

    Starts the full Omni AI agent on an open-ended or multi-step analytical question and returns immediately with a 'jobId' — it does NOT wait for or return the answer, which is retrieved separately once…

  • Cancel job

    Stops a job started by askOmni.

  • Check dashboard download

    Polls a dashboard download started by startDashboardDownload.

  • Check status

    Checks on a job started by askOmni and returns quickly.

  • Fetch dashboard download

    Returns the png a completed dashboard download produced — the job from startDashboardDownload once checkDashboardDownload reports it "complete" — as an image you can look at, after a text block with…

  • Get app

    Alpha — the app content shape may change without a deprecation cycle.

  • Get app draft

    Alpha — the app content shape may change without a deprecation cycle.

  • Get data

    Gets data by generating and executing a query from natural language.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Cline CLI

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Cline CLI exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Omni call from Cline CLI passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, Cline CLI as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Client hooks (available)

    Capture supported prompts, reasoning, local and MCP tool calls, responses, and scanner decisions in real time.

  • Stop a call before it runs (available)

    Runlayer can deny a tool call before Cline CLI runs it.

  • Block output after it runs (not available)

    Cline CLI ignores Runlayer after a tool runs, so Runlayer cannot block its output. The gateway still applies policy to the call.

  • Redact output in place (not available)

    Runlayer cannot mask tool output in Cline CLI. The gateway still applies policy to the call.

In Cline CLI

  • If Runlayer’s hook times out or crashes, Cline CLI lets the tool call through.
  • This covers the Cline CLI, not the Cline extension for VS Code.
