WHAT IT DOES

What generate_csn_template does on SAP Business Data Cloud MCP Server

Why generate_csn_template needs a policy

The tool generates/reads a template from an existing share — this is a read/fetch operation that retrieves structural metadata to produce a template. No data is modified, deleted, or executed. The word 'generate' here means deriving output from existing data, not creating or modifying resources.

POLICY

How to control generate_csn_template

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

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "generate_csn_template": {}
  }
}

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