Why Runlayer

Why connect DeepWiki through Runlayer?

One approved path

Approve DeepWiki once and everyone gets it in the AI clients they already use. Runlayer holds the credentials, so nothing sits in client configuration.

Fine-grained policy

Control who can use each server, tool, and resource, and under which runtime conditions.

Runtime security

Scan tool inputs and outputs for prompt injection, credential exposure, PII, and data exfiltration, then alert, mask, or block.

Audit and observability

Trace every request across users, clients, tools, policies, scanner decisions, and downstream systems.
