Connect Zoom to GitHub Copilot CLI
Give GitHub Copilot CLI governed access to Zoom’s 20 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up

Connect GitHub Copilot CLI to Runlayer

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)
