Medium Risk

register_application

Register an SAP application with AWS Systems Manager for SAP. For HANA applications, provide the HANA database details. For SAP_ABAP applications, you must first register the HANA database and provide its ARN. Args: ctx: MCP context object. application_id: Unique application identifier....

Handles credentials or secrets (credentials); High parameter count (10 properties)

Part of the AWS Labs AWS For SAP Management MCP Server MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use register_application to create or modify resources in AWS Labs AWS For SAP Management MCP Server. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call register_application repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach AWS Labs AWS For SAP Management MCP Server.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.

What does the register_application tool do? +

Register an SAP application with AWS Systems Manager for SAP. For HANA applications, provide the HANA database details. For SAP_ABAP applications, you must first register the HANA database and provide its ARN. Args: ctx: MCP context object. application_id: Unique application identifier. application_type: HANA or SAP_ABAP. sid: SAP System ID (3 chars). sap_instance_number: Two-digit instance number. instances: List of EC2 instance IDs. credentials: Optional credential configurations. database_arn: Required for SAP_ABAP only. tags: Optional tags. region: AWS region. profile_name: AWS CLI profile name. Returns: RegisterApplicationResponse with registration status.. It is categorised as a Write tool in the AWS Labs AWS For SAP Management MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on register_application? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for register_application. You can allow, deny, rate-limit, or validate arguments. Then run Intercept as a proxy in front of the AWS Labs AWS For SAP Management MCP Server MCP server.

What risk level is register_application? +

register_application is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit register_application? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the register_application 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.

How do I block register_application completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for register_application. 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.

What MCP server provides register_application? +

register_application is provided by the AWS Labs AWS For SAP Management MCP Server MCP server (awslabs.aws-for-sap-management-mcp-server). Intercept sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
