runQuery

Runs a SQL query on the target system.

Part of the ABAP-ADT-API MCP-Server server.

runQuery can trigger actions in ABAP-ADT-API MCP-Server, with no limits today. PolicyLayer puts allow, deny, and rate-limit rules on every call. Live in minutes.

AI agents invoke runQuery to trigger processes or run actions in ABAP-ADT-API 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.

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

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

These attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access runQuery gives an agent. Each links to the full case and the policy that stops it:

Every attack above starts with a tool call. PolicyLayer checks each one against your policy first, so runQuery only ever does what you allow.

What does the runQuery tool do? +

Runs a SQL query on the target system.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the ABAP-ADT-API 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 runQuery? +

Register the ABAP-ADT-API MCP-Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for runQuery: 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 ABAP-ADT-API MCP-Server. Nothing to install.

What risk level is runQuery? +

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

Can I rate-limit runQuery? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the runQuery 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.

How do I block runQuery completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for runQuery. 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 runQuery? +

runQuery is provided by the ABAP-ADT-API MCP-Server MCP server (mario-andreschak/mcp-abap-abap-adt-api). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every ABAP-ADT-API MCP-Server tool call.
