Set up

Add Hugging Face to Goose in four steps

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

  1. 1

    Approve Hugging Face in Runlayer

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

  2. 2

    Connect Goose to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin as a Goose extension; Goose has no native plugin install. Goose reaches Hugging Face’s tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Hugging Face

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

  4. 4

    Use Hugging Face from Goose

    Hugging Face’s approved tools appear in Goose. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

Hugging Face tools in Goose

Hugging Face reports its tools when your organization connects it, so the list depends on your deployment.

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 Hugging Face 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.
