Connect Scanner to Raycast
Give Raycast governed access to Scanner’s 3 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Scanner to Raycast in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Raycast then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve Scanner in Runlayer
Add Scanner from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect Raycast to Runlayer
Install the Runlayer CLI so Raycast can reach Scanner, which runs on the user’s machine.

Sign in to Scanner

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 Scanner 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.
