Connect Parallel Search to Goose

Give Goose governed access to Parallel Search’s 2 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.

Set up

Add Parallel Search to Goose in four steps

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

  1. 1

    Approve Parallel Search in Runlayer

    Add Parallel Search 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 Parallel Search’s 2 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Parallel Search

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

  4. 4

    Use Parallel Search from Goose

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

Tools

2 Parallel Search tools in Goose

Runlayer policy decides which of these Goose users can call.

  • Web fetch

    Purpose: Fetch and extract relevant content from specific web URLs.

  • Web Search preview

    Purpose: Perform web searches and return results in an LLM-friendly format and with parameters tuned for LLMs.

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 Parallel Search 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.
