Connect Google Sheets to Zed
Give Zed governed access to Google Sheets’s 21 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Google Sheets to Zed in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Zed then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 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
Connect Zed to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Zed by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Zed reaches Google Sheets’s 21 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

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.

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 Google Sheets 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.
