Why GetPackage needs a policy

This tool retrieves package metadata and structure from a SAP ABAP system. It performs a query operation only, returning information about ABAP packages without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an attacker could only enumerate or exfiltrate package metadata, not alter the system or access sensitive data beyond what the SAP user account permits.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'GetPackage' and description 'Retrieve ABAP package details' indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or side effects.

How to control GetPackage

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

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "GetPackage": {}
  }
}

GetPackage is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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