// WHEN AI AGENTS USE THIS TOOL

AI agents invoke stop_application to trigger processes or run actions in AWS Labs AWS For SAP Management MCP Server. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.

// WHY ENFORCE A POLICY ON STOP_APPLICATION

stop_application can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. Intercept enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.

// RECOMMENDED POLICY

Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

What does the stop_application tool do? +

Stop an SAP application registered with AWS Systems Manager for SAP. For HANA applications with associated NetWeaver (SAP_ABAP) applications, this tool can optionally stop the NetWeaver applications first before stopping the HANA database. Args: ctx: MCP context object. application_id: The application ID. include_ec2_instance_shutdown: Whether to also shutdown EC2 instances. stop_connected_entity: Connected entity to stop (e.g., 'DBMS'). region: AWS region. profile_name: AWS CLI profile name. Returns: StartStopApplicationResponse with operation status.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the AWS Labs AWS For SAP Management MCP Server MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on stop_application? +

Add a rule in your Intercept YAML policy under the tools section for stop_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 stop_application? +

stop_application is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit stop_application? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the stop_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 stop_application completely? +

Set action: deny in the Intercept policy for stop_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 stop_application? +

stop_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.
