Why get_space_info needs a policy

The tool performs a read-only query operation that retrieves existing information about a Datasphere space. It has no side effects, does not modify data, execute code, delete resources, or involve financial transactions. While the server operates on production tenant data, this specific tool is scoped to information retrieval only, making it a straightforward Read classification.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_space_info' and description states 'Get detailed information about a specific Datasphere space' — this retrieves metadata/information about a space with no modification, creation, deletion, code execution, or financial impact.

POLICY

How to control get_space_info

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_space_info:

policy.json

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

get_space_info 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 Datasphere 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.
