Set up

Add Paper to Raycast in four steps

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

  1. 1

    Approve Paper in Runlayer

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

  2. 2

    Connect Raycast to Runlayer

    Install the Runlayer CLI so Raycast can reach Paper, which runs on the user’s machine.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Paper

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

  4. 4

    Use Paper from Raycast

    Paper’s approved tools appear in Raycast. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Raycast

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

  • Gateway policy (available)

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

  • Audit trail (available)

    Each call is recorded with the user, Raycast as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.

  • Native enforcement adapter (not available)

    Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Raycast yet, so control happens at the gateway.
