Set up

Add Vantage to Zed in four steps

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

  1. 1

    Add Vantage to Runlayer

    Vantage isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.

    Adding a connector manually
  2. 2

    Connect Zed to Runlayer

    Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Zed by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Zed reaches Vantage’s 157 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

  3. 3

    Sign in to Vantage

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

  4. 4

    Use Vantage from Zed

    Vantage’s approved tools appear in Zed. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.

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 Vantage 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.
