AI agents call sac_import_get_model_metadata to retrieve information from Sap Analytics Cloud without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool only retrieves metadata about a model (dimension names, measure names, field types). It has no side effects and does not modify any data. It is purely a read/discovery operation with minimal blast radius.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access sac_import_get_model_metadata gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Sap Analytics Cloud, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for sac_import_get_model_metadata:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"sac_import_get_model_metadata": {}
}
} sac_import_get_model_metadata is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Get model dimension names, measure names and field types. Call this BEFORE sac_export_get_fact_data_aggregation to discover valid $select fields (e.g. PD_O_BusinessUnit, SignedData). Required whenever field names are unknown. Use when: aggregating fact data, exporting by dimension, querying model structure. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sap Analytics Cloud MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sap Analytics Cloud MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for sac_import_get_model_metadata: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Sap Analytics Cloud. Nothing to install.
sac_import_get_model_metadata 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 sac_import_get_model_metadata rule in your PolicyLayer 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 PolicyLayer policy for sac_import_get_model_metadata. 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.
sac_import_get_model_metadata is provided by the Sap Analytics Cloud MCP server (jumenengels/sap_analytics_cloud_mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Sap Analytics Cloud, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
