List all available analytical datasets within a specific asset. Discovers analytical models that can be queried for business intelligence and reporting. Returns entity sets with their names, types, and URLs for data access.
AI agents call list_analytical_datasets 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 is a read-only discovery tool that enumerates available datasets and metadata without creating, modifying, or deleting data. However, severity is medium rather than low because: (1) it operates on SAP Datasphere production environments with real tenant data; (2) dataset discovery in an enterprise context can expose sensitive business information structure and asset inventory; (3) the sibling context shows this…
From the tool's definition Tool name 'list_analytical_datasets' and description 'List all available analytical datasets' and 'Discovers analytical models' indicate retrieval/discovery operations with no modification. Returns 'names, types, and URLs' for informational access.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access list_analytical_datasets gives an agent:
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 list_analytical_datasets:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"list_analytical_datasets": {}
}
}list_analytical_datasets is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

List all available analytical datasets within a specific asset. Discovers analytical models that can be queried for business intelligence and reporting. Returns entity sets with their names, types, and URLs for data access. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SAP Datasphere MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SAP Datasphere MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_analytical_datasets: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches SAP Datasphere MCP Server. Nothing to install.
list_analytical_datasets 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 list_analytical_datasets 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 list_analytical_datasets. 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.
list_analytical_datasets 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.
