Part of the Arc 1 MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.
AI agents call SAPManage to retrieve information from Arc 1 without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though SAPManage only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

Probe and report SAP system capabilities. Use this BEFORE attempting operations that depend on optional features (abapGit, RAP/CDS, AMDP, HANA, UI5/Fiori, CTS transports). Actions: - "features": Get cached feature status from last probe (fast, no SAP round-trip). Returns which features are available, their mode (auto/on/off), and when they were last probed. - "probe": Re-probe the SAP system now (makes 6 parallel HEAD requests, ~1-2s). Use this on first use or if you suspect feature availability has changed. Returns JSON with 6 features, each having: id, available (bool), mode, message, and probedAt timestamp. Also returns systemType ("btp" or "onprem") for understanding available capabilities. "available: false" means do NOT attempt operations that depend on it.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Arc 1 MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for SAPManage. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the Arc 1 MCP server.
SAPManage is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the SAPManage rule in your Intercept policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for SAPManage. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
SAPManage is provided by the Arc 1 MCP server (arc-1). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
