Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in GitHub Copilot
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what GitHub Copilot exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Carta call from GitHub Copilot 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 as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for GitHub Copilot yet, so control happens at the gateway.
