Set up

Add Microsoft 365 User Profile 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 Microsoft 365 User Profile in Runlayer

    Add Microsoft 365 User Profile 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 Microsoft 365 User Profile’s 5 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  4. 4

    Use Microsoft 365 User Profile from GitHub Copilot CLI

    Microsoft 365 User Profile’s approved tools appear in GitHub Copilot CLI. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

  • Get multiple users details

    Search for multiple users in the directory by name, job title, office location, or other properties.

    Retrieve profile details for the currently signed-in user ("me, my").

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in GitHub Copilot CLI

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

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Microsoft 365 User Profile call from GitHub Copilot CLI passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, GitHub Copilot 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 or permission request before GitHub Copilot CLI runs it.

  • Block output after it runs (available)

    Runlayer can block a tool’s output before GitHub Copilot CLI’s model sees it.

  • Redact output in place (available)

    Runlayer can mask sensitive parts of a successful tool’s output in GitHub Copilot CLI and pass the rest through.

In GitHub Copilot CLI

  • When a tool fails, Runlayer records the error but cannot replace it.
