Set up

Add Google Sheets to GitHub Copilot in four steps

Admins approve the server once. Everyone in GitHub Copilot then gets it through the same governed connection.

  1. 1

    Approve Google Sheets in Runlayer

    Add Google Sheets from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.

  2. 2

    Connect GitHub Copilot to Runlayer

    GitHub Copilot gets connector tools through the Runlayer Plugin, and reaches Google Sheets’s 21 tools through the plugin’s search and execute tools.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Google Sheets

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

  4. 4

    Use Google Sheets from GitHub Copilot

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

Tools

21 Google Sheets tools in GitHub Copilot

  • Append

    Remove a sheet's filter, restoring any rows it was hiding.

  • Create

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 Google Sheets 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.
