Connect Chrome DevTools to Goose

Give Goose governed access to Chrome DevTools’s 26 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.

Set up

Add Chrome DevTools to Goose in four steps

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

  1. 1

    Approve Chrome DevTools in Runlayer

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

  2. 2

    Connect Goose to Runlayer

    Install the Runlayer CLI so Goose can reach Chrome DevTools, which runs on the user’s machine. Auto Sync can then write Chrome DevTools into Goose on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

    Sign in to Chrome DevTools

  4. 4

    Use Chrome DevTools from Goose

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Goose

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

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Chrome DevTools call from Goose passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

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

  • 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)

    Runlayer can deny a tool call before Goose runs it.

  • Block output after it runs (available)

    Runlayer can block a tool’s output before Goose’s model sees it.

  • Redact output in place (not available)

    Goose cannot apply masking, so Runlayer blocks output it would otherwise mask. The gateway still applies policy to the call.
