Why Runlayer
Why connect Hex through Runlayer?
One approved path
Approve Hex 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.
