Why validate_share_readiness needs a policy

This is a diagnostic/validation tool that queries the state of a share to determine readiness. It retrieves status information without creating, modifying, executing commands on external systems, or destroying data. The sibling tools (create_or_update, delete, publish) perform more severe operations, but this tool itself is non-destructive and read-only in nature.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'validate_share_readiness' and description 'Validate that a Databricks share is ready' indicate a validation/inspection operation. No side effects mentioned; performs readiness checks without modifying, executing operations, or deleting data.

POLICY

How to control validate_share_readiness

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 validate_share_readiness:

policy.json

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

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

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