MOST DANGEROUS TOOLS

High Risk

The most dangerous MCP SAP GUI Server tools

Execute · High sap_execute_transaction SAP transactions are executable business operations that can modify data, trigger workflows, or execute business logic. Execute · Medium sap_click_tree_link Clicking a hyperlink in SAP GUI triggers navigation or an action whose effects depend on the link target. Execute · Low sap_collapse_tree_node This tool triggers a UI interaction (collapsing a tree node) in SAP GUI via the Scripting API. Execute · High sap_connect The tool name suggests it establishes a connection to an SAP GUI session.

34 of MCP SAP GUI Server's 57 tools can modify, destroy, or commit something on every call — and an agent calls them with no built-in limits.

POLICY

How to control MCP SAP GUI Server

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP SAP GUI Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. These are the rules we recommend:

Rate limit write operations

{
  "sap_modify_cell": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "sap_modify_cell_per_hour",
        "window": "hour",
        "max": 30,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Prevents bulk unintended modifications from agents caught in loops.

Cap read operations

{
  "sap_find_tree_node_by_path": {
    "limits": [
      {
        "counter": "sap_find_tree_node_by_path_per_minute",
        "window": "minute",
        "max": 60,
        "scope": "grant"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Controls API costs and prevents retry loops from exhausting upstream rate limits.
