Connect Planhat to GitHub Copilot CLI

Give GitHub Copilot CLI governed access to Planhat’s 10 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.

Set up

Add Planhat 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

    Add Planhat to Runlayer

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

    Adding a connector manually
  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 Planhat’s 10 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Planhat

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

  4. 4

    Use Planhat from GitHub Copilot CLI

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

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 Planhat 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.

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