Why Runlayer

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

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

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

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