Set up

Add Lattice to GitHub Copilot CLI in four steps

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

  1. 1

    Approve Lattice in Runlayer

    Add Lattice from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.

  2. 2

    Connect GitHub Copilot CLI to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to GitHub Copilot CLI by following Runlayer’s setup guide. GitHub Copilot CLI reaches Lattice’s 22 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  4. 4

    Use Lattice from GitHub Copilot CLI

    Lattice’s approved tools appear in GitHub Copilot CLI. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

  • 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 GitHub Copilot CLI runs it.
