Runlayer for Glean

Give Glean approved MCP tools through Runlayer’s remote endpoints.

01

Connect

Give everyone in Glean the golden path to approved tools

Add one Runlayer Plugin endpoint so people find every tool they’re approved for, or connect a single server when you want a narrower set.

Runlayer Plugin

Unified endpoint

Add one remote MCP endpoint. Users discover and authorize the approved tools available to them without accumulating separate client configurations.

Direct connection

Per-connector endpoint

Give the client a dedicated Runlayer URL for one connector. Identity, policy, scanning, and audit still stay attached to every request.

Observe

See how Glean is being used

Runlayer uses every channel Glean exposes. Each one is labeled, so you can tell real-time hooks from after-the-fact imports.

Monitor only

OTLP telemetry

Glean can send supported OpenTelemetry events to Runlayer for observe-only session visibility.

Enforce

Know exactly what Glean can block

Each row reflects Runlayer’s enforcement code for Glean: what it can stop before a call runs, block afterward, or redact in place.

ControlSupportWhat that means
Pre-tool denyAt the gatewayRunlayer has no hook in Glean that can stop a tool call; Runlayer policies stop calls to Runlayer connectors at the gateway.
Post-tool output blockAt the gatewayRunlayer has no hook in Glean that can block tool output; ToolGuard blocks unsafe output from Runlayer connectors at the gateway.
Output rewriteAt the gatewayRunlayer has no hook in Glean that can rewrite tool output; ToolGuard masks sensitive output from Runlayer connectors at the gateway.
Enforcement postureNot applicable
Minimum supported versionNo minimum listed

Client-specific caveats

  • Runlayer sees Glean activity through OpenTelemetry traces for monitoring only; enforcement happens at the gateway.
