Set up
Add Nimble to Microsoft 365 Copilot in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Microsoft 365 Copilot then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve Nimble in Runlayer
Add Nimble from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect Microsoft 365 Copilot to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Microsoft 365 Copilot by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Microsoft 365 Copilot reaches Nimble’s 27 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Microsoft 365 Copilot
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Microsoft 365 Copilot exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Nimble call from Microsoft 365 Copilot passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, Microsoft 365 Copilot as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Managed browser extension (available)
Managed Chrome, Edge, and Firefox deployments can monitor supported web-chat activity and apply prompt-time controls where the surface permits it.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Microsoft 365 Copilot yet, so control happens at the gateway.
