Improvements
- AI Watch on Windows: device-local Scheduled Tasks: The Windows MSI now registers its own Scheduled Tasks at install (a SYSTEM hooks task plus a per-user S4U scan fan-out) instead of relying on Intune Remediations — so AI Watch no longer needs Intune P2 / Remediations, and scans run in each user’s context with no interactive logon, mirroring the macOS launchd model. Tasks live in a hidden, permission-locked
\RunlayerTask Scheduler folder and self-heal; use the bundleddetect-install.ps1as the Intune custom detection rule. See Intune deployment.
June 16, 2026
CLI catalog browsing and UI polish
Improvements- Collapsible navigation: Sidebar sections can now collapse, persisted per browser.
- Agent artifacts tab: Each agent page now has an Artifacts tab listing the files it has published.

Improvements
- Microsoft SharePoint exact site lookup:
sharepoint_search_sitesnow resolves an exact site name (including hyphenated names likeIntermediaInc-ITSA), a full site URL, or a server-relative path via direct path lookups before falling back to the tokenized tenant search, and surfaces exact matches first. See Microsoft 365. - Microsoft Outlook Calendar lightweight lists:
outlook_calendar_list_eventsandoutlook_calendar_list_calendar_viewnow return lightweight summaries (a shortbodyPreviewinstead of the full event body), so date-range lists stay compact and no longer truncate. Useoutlook_calendar_get_eventfor the full body. See Microsoft 365.
June 1, 2026
Improvements
- Microsoft Outlook in-thread reply drafts: New
outlook_create_reply_drafttool saves a Reply or Reply-All as an editable draft nested inside the original conversation, so you can review and send it later instead of sending immediately. See Microsoft 365.
May 29, 2026
Improvements
- HITL Notify-Only: New asynchronous approval mode for agents — when a guarded tool call fires, approvers receive a Slack notification and the run pauses until they allow or deny. See Agents — HITL.

May 29, 2026
Improvements
- Sessions hooks installed by default: MDM deployments now install the full event/session hook set by default. Set the
SessionsMDM field tofalseto keep enforcement-only hooks. See Deploy AI Watch. - Identity Forward on any connector: Identity Forward is no longer limited to Runlayer Deploy. Enable plain
X-Runlayer-*headers or the signed JWT on any HTTP-based connector (Streaming HTTP or SSE) from the connector’s configuration. See Deploy — Identity Forward. - Skill upload: single .md file: The web UI now accepts a single
.mdfile when creating a skill. The file is treated asSKILL.md, and the skill name is derived from frontmatter, the first heading, or the filename. See Skills — Uploading from the web UI. - Claude Agent SDK integration: New integration guide for wiring Runlayer MCP servers into the Claude Agent SDK, covering HTTP transport, multiple servers, and agent account auth. See Claude Agent SDK.

Calendars.ReadWritedelegated scope. See Microsoft 365.
May 13, 2026
Improvements
- Security Scanners redesign: The Security Scanners settings page now groups scanners by lifecycle phase (catalog admission, per-call scanning, session monitoring) and introduces the Mask violation action. Mask redacts detected content (PII values, hidden characters, credentials) and lets the request continue — giving you a middle ground between alerting and blocking. Scanner labels are clearer: “Invisible character detection” and “Credential detection”. See ToolGuard — Violation Actions.
- Self-serve SCIM role mapping: Admins can now configure SCIM groups-to-roles mapping directly in Settings → Workspace → Manage Directory Sync without contacting support. See Roles — SCIM Role Sync.
- Agent clone: The agent “Duplicate” action has been renamed to Clone for clearer terminology. Cloning copies an agent’s configuration, connectors, and tools into a new agent owned by you.

- Intune Deployment Package: scan-on-detect option: The Intune deployment package now ships two remediation strategies — Scan on detect (simpler, one script) and Detect staleness + remediate (follows Intune best practice).

May 11, 2026
Improvements
- Enforce: plugin MCP servers intercepted: Enforce now detects MCP servers bundled in native client plugins (e.g. Claude Code marketplace plugins). Plugin-provided MCP endpoints are subject to the same enforcement rules as any other shadow MCP — they must point at a Runlayer proxy URL or be on the remote URL allowlist.
- Enforce: always-on shadow blocking: Shadow MCP enforcement on the hook path is always active once hooks are installed, regardless of the Full session scanning toggle in workspace settings.
- PII scanning: pattern-based detection: PII scanning now uses regex patterns with validators instead of heuristics. Built-in types: SSN, credit card, phone, email, passport, driver’s license, IBAN, IP address, date of birth, MRN, VIN, Bitcoin address, and Ethereum address. Custom regex rules continue to work alongside built-in patterns. See ToolGuard Models.

- Helm: DB reader endpoint: Configure a read-replica endpoint via
externalDatabase.readerHostto offload read traffic. See Helm — Database Configuration. - Detect: expanded client support: AI Watch scans now discover MCP configs in Cline, Cline CLI, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, and GitHub Copilot CLI.

May 5, 2026
Improvements
- Agent artifacts: Agents can now publish files from their workspace as shareable URLs using the built-in
publish_artifacttool. Use it to share generated reports, CSVs, or any file with end users. Artifact publishing is enabled by default on new agents. See Agents — Artifact publishing. - Runlayer MCP: agent memory toggle: The
create_agentandupdate_agentRunlayer MCP tools now accept anenable_memoryparameter so you can enable or disable built-in agent memory programmatically. - Shareable session links: Agent run sessions can now be shared via a direct link from the sessions list.
- CLI 0.24.4 → 0.24.6: Improved AI Watch hook enforcement reliability on Cursor; internal stability fixes.

- Auto-grant delegation: Starting your first interactive chat with an agent automatically grants a delegation so the agent can act on your behalf.
- Identity Forward: Any HTTP-based MCP connector (Streaming HTTP or SSE) can now receive the authenticated caller’s identity via
X-Runlayer-*headers or a signed JWT. Enable it in the connector’s configuration. See Deploy — Identity Forward. - Policy-blocked tools flagged: Tools and resources blocked by connector policies are now visually flagged in the connector detail view.

- Agent default model updated: New agents now default to Claude Opus 4.6 (
claude-opus-4-6). Existing agents keep their current model. - Agent memory clarified: Agent creation and update endpoints now document the built-in persistent SQLite database — no extra storage setup required.
