Connect DeepWiki to Zed
Give Zed governed access to DeepWiki’s 4 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add DeepWiki to Zed in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Zed then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve DeepWiki in Runlayer
Add DeepWiki from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect Zed to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Zed by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Zed reaches DeepWiki’s 4 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Sign in to DeepWiki
Sign in the way DeepWiki requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.
- 4
Use DeepWiki from Zed
DeepWiki’s approved tools appear in Zed. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.
Tools
4 DeepWiki tools in Zed
Runlayer policy decides which of these Zed users can call.

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Zed
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Zed exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every DeepWiki call from Zed passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, Zed as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Zed yet, so control happens at the gateway.
