What long_running_task does on Sap Btp Destination
AI agents call long_running_task to retrieve information from Sap Btp Destination without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why long_running_task is rated Low
Even though long_running_task only reads data, uncontrolled read access leaks sensitive information and racks up API costs: an agent caught in a retry loop can make thousands of calls a minute without anyone noticing.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs long_running_task safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Sap Btp Destination, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For long_running_task, this is the rule to start with:
long_running_task is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Sap Btp Destination, apply this rule, and every long_running_task call is checked against it from then on.
