Set up

Add Cloudflare AI Gateway to Perplexity in four steps

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

  1. 1

    Approve Cloudflare AI Gateway in Runlayer

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

  2. 2

    Connect Perplexity to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Perplexity by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Perplexity reaches Cloudflare AI Gateway’s tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Cloudflare AI Gateway

    Sign in the way Cloudflare AI Gateway requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

  4. 4

    Use Cloudflare AI Gateway from Perplexity

    Cloudflare AI Gateway’s approved tools appear in Perplexity. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

Cloudflare AI Gateway tools in Perplexity

Cloudflare AI Gateway reports its tools when your organization connects it, so the list depends on your deployment.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Perplexity

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

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Cloudflare AI Gateway call from Perplexity passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, Perplexity 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 Perplexity yet, so control happens at the gateway.
