Set up

Add Google Sheets to Windsurf in four steps

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

  1. 1

    Approve Google Sheets in Runlayer

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

  2. 2

    Connect Windsurf to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Windsurf by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Windsurf reaches Google Sheets’s 21 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Google Sheets

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

  4. 4

    Use Google Sheets from Windsurf

    Google Sheets’s approved tools appear in Windsurf. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

Tools

21 Google Sheets tools in Windsurf

Runlayer policy decides which of these Windsurf users can call. 4 read data only and 4 can change or delete data.

  • Add sheet

    Add a new sheet (tab) to an existing spreadsheet.

  • Append

    Append data to a spreadsheet.

  • Autofill

    Extend a formula or detected series from a source range into a larger destination range (like dragging the fill handle).

  • Clear

    Clear the values in a range while leaving the rows, columns, and formatting in place.

  • Clear filter

    Remove a sheet's filter, restoring any rows it was hiding.

  • Create

    Create a new spreadsheet.

  • Create filter

    Turn on filtering over a range of a sheet (the funnel button in the Sheets UI), so rows can be sorted and filtered by column.

Control

What Runlayer can see and stop in Windsurf

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

  • Gateway policy (available)

    Every Google Sheets call from Windsurf passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.

  • Audit trail (available)

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

  • Block output after it runs (not available)

    Windsurf ignores Runlayer after a tool runs, so Runlayer cannot block its output. The gateway still applies policy to the call.

  • Redact output in place (not available)

    Windsurf has no way to receive replacement output, so Runlayer cannot mask it. The gateway still applies policy to the call.

In Windsurf

  • Enforcement needs Windsurf 1.12.31 or newer.
  • When Runlayer denies a call, Windsurf shows the reason to the user; Runlayer cannot adjust the call’s inputs.
