Why sap_scroll_table_control needs a policy

This tool performs a UI interaction (scrolling) within the SAP GUI interface. It triggers an external operation on the SAP GUI application but does not read, write, or delete data — it simply changes the view/position of a table control. This is an Execute-category action as it manipulates the state of an external application's UI.

POLICY

How to control sap_scroll_table_control

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and MCP SAP GUI Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for sap_scroll_table_control:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "sap_scroll_table_control": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "sap_scroll_table_control_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

sap_scroll_table_control stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Create a free account and register MCP SAP GUI Server — nothing to install.
Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.
