Set up

Add Airtable to Hermes in four steps

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

  1. 1

    Approve Airtable in Runlayer

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

  2. 2

    Connect Hermes to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Hermes by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Hermes reaches Airtable’s 46 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Airtable

    Each user signs in to Airtable with OAuth. Runlayer keeps the tokens out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Airtable from Hermes

    Airtable’s approved tools appear in Hermes. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

46 Airtable tools in Hermes

Runlayer policy decides which of these Hermes users can call. 6 read data only and 1 can change or delete data.

  • Analyze table

    Run statistical operations (count, sum, average, min, max, etc.) on an Airtable table, optionally grouped by columns and filtered.

  • Create automation

    Creates and validates one automation in a base: a trigger plus ordered nodes — action nodes, repeatingGroup (run inner nodes once per item), and conditionalGroup (if/else-if/else branches).

  • Create base

    Creates a new Airtable base with the specified tables and fields.

  • Create field

    Creates a new field in an existing Airtable table.

  • Create interface

    Creates a new interface within a base.

  • Create page

    Creates a new page.

  • Create record comment

    Creates a comment on a specific Airtable record.

  • Create records for table

    Creates new records in an Airtable table.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Hermes

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

  • Gateway policy (available)

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

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, Hermes 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 Hermes runs it.

  • Block output after it runs (available)

    Runlayer can block a tool’s output in Hermes and show a message in its place.

  • Redact output in place (not available)

    Hermes cannot take masked output, so Runlayer can block a tool’s output but not mask it. The gateway still applies policy to the call.

In Hermes

  • Hermes can replace blocked tool output with a message, but its after-call event is for monitoring only.
