Connect Honeycomb to Crush

Give Crush governed access to Honeycomb’s 38 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.

Set up

Add Honeycomb to Crush in four steps

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

  1. 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. 2

    Connect Crush to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Crush by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Crush reaches Honeycomb’s 38 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Honeycomb

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

  4. 4

    Use Honeycomb from Crush

    Honeycomb’s approved tools appear in Crush. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

38 Honeycomb tools in Crush

Runlayer policy decides which of these Crush users can call.

    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 Crush

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

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Honeycomb call from Crush passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

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

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Crush yet, so control happens at the gateway.
