Get the OData service document for a specific analytical asset. Returns the service root with available entity sets and their URLs. Lightweight endpoint to discover what data is available without retrieving full metadata.
AI agents call get_analytical_service_document to retrieve information from SAP Datasphere MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves schema/structure information about analytical assets (entity sets and URLs) but does not query, modify, or execute operations on actual data. It is a read-only metadata discovery operation with no side effects. Low severity because even if an AI agent explores available services, it cannot directly access sensitive data or perform actions through this endpoint alone.
From the tool's definition Tool returns 'OData service document' and 'service root with available entity sets and their URLs' - purely informational discovery of metadata structure without data retrieval or modification.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and SAP Datasphere MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for get_analytical_service_document:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"get_analytical_service_document": {}
}
} get_analytical_service_document is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

get_analytical_service_document is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_analytical_service_document 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_analytical_service_document. 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.
get_analytical_service_document is provided by the SAP Datasphere MCP Server MCP server (mariodefelipe/sap-datasphere-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from SAP Datasphere MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
