Short answer

How can I add new agents to my control plane?

You tell your AI to register a new agent and define its security boundaries. Your agent uses Runlayer to create the identity and attach the necessary policies and MCPs. You get a fully configured agent ready for deployment.

The onboarding outcomes.

Where every agent lands.

Your AI manages the setup process from registration to permissioning.

IDENTITY

New agent created

The AI registers a unique identity for the agent in your control plane. You get a new, trackable entity in your system.

SECURITY

Policies applied

The AI attaches specific security rules to the new agent. This ensures the agent only touches what it is allowed to.

ACCESS

MCPs assigned

The AI links the agent to the required Model Context Protocol tools. This gives the agent the specific capabilities it needs to work.

REVIEW

Human oversight

The AI presents the configuration for your final approval. You decide if the permissions and tools match your requirements before finishing.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete existing agents?

    No. The current tools only allow for creating agents, creating policies, and listing agents. Deletion must be done manually.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide which security policies to use?

    No. You must tell the AI which specific policy to apply to the new agent.

  • 03

    Can I see a list of all my agents?

    Yes. Your AI can pull a full list of registered agents at any time.

  • 04

    Will the AI change my existing security policies?

    No. The AI can create new policies, but it cannot modify or edit policies that already exist.

  • 05

    Can I assign multiple MCPs to one agent?

    Yes. You can instruct the AI to assign the necessary MCPs during the setup process.
