Set up

Add Collate to Glean in four steps

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

  1. 1

    Add Collate to Runlayer

    Collate isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.

    Adding a connector manually
  2. 2

    Connect Glean to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Glean by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Glean reaches Collate’s 19 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Collate

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

  4. 4

    Use Collate from Glean

    Collate’s approved tools appear in Glean. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Glean

Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Glean exposes to Runlayer.

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Collate call from Glean passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, Glean as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • OTLP telemetry (available)

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

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Glean yet, so control happens at the gateway.

In Glean

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