Connect Tableau Next to Codex
Give Codex governed access to Tableau Next through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Tableau Next to Codex in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Codex then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve Tableau Next in Runlayer
Add Tableau Next from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect Codex to Runlayer
Runlayer’s CLI adds the Runlayer Plugin to Codex’s local plugin marketplace, and users then enable it in Codex. With direct tool listing turned on for your deployment, Tableau Next’s tools show up in Codex’s own tool list (Codex 0.122 or newer, installed through the Runlayer CLI).

Each user signs in to Tableau Next with OAuth. Runlayer keeps the tokens out of the client’s configuration.

Tableau Next’s approved tools appear in Codex. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.
Tools
Tableau Next tools in Codex
Tableau Next reports its tools when your organization connects it, so the list depends on your deployment.
Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Codex
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Codex exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Tableau Next call from Codex passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, Codex 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 or permission request before Codex runs it.
Block output after it runs (available)
Runlayer can block a tool’s output before Codex’s model sees it.
Redact output in place (not available)
Codex cannot take masked output, so Runlayer can block a tool’s output but not mask it. The gateway still applies policy to the call.
