Set up

Add Workato 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 Workato to Runlayer

    Workato 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 Workato’s 108 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Workato

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

  4. 4

    Use Workato from GitHub Copilot CLI

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

Tools

108 Workato tools in GitHub Copilot CLI

Runlayer policy decides which of these GitHub Copilot CLI users can call.

  • Get asset URL

    Generate Workato UI URLs for one or more assets (recipe, genie, knowledge_base, skill, blueprint, job, folder, connection, mcp_server, project, data_table, api_endpoint, and ~30 more types).

  • Blueprint apply

    Edit the blueprint working copy held by this chat session: 1 to 100 ops, each {op: 'set', path, value} or {op: 'delete', path}, applied atomically in the order given.

  • Blueprint identify

    Report which blueprint this chat session's working copy holds, by handle, without reading Workato or changing anything.

  • Blueprint init

    Start a new blueprint in this chat session: creates an empty local working copy and nothing on Workato.

  • Blueprint link asset

    Bind a built asset (recipe, skill, genie, or MCP server) to a blueprint's asset map placeholder.

  • Blueprint pull

    Load an existing blueprint from Workato into this chat session's working copy, replacing whatever the session held.

  • Blueprint push

    Save this chat session's blueprint working copy to Workato - the only blueprint tool that writes to the platform.

  • Read blueprint

    Read the blueprint working copy held by this chat session.

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 Workato 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.
