AI agents call cap_hana_mapping to retrieve information from Sflight without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays structural metadata about database mappings. It has no side effects and merely provides read-only information for introspection purposes. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only gain visibility into system architecture without causing operational harm.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Show the mapping' which is a retrieval/query operation that returns metadata about how CDS entities map to HANA artifacts. No modification, deletion, or execution of external operations occurs.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Show the mapping between CDS entities and their generated HANA artifacts (hdbtable/hdbview names). It is categorised as a Read tool in the Sflight MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Sflight MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for cap_hana_mapping: 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 Sflight. Nothing to install.
cap_hana_mapping 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 cap_hana_mapping 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 cap_hana_mapping. 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.
cap_hana_mapping is provided by the Sflight MCP server (mindsetconsulting/sflight-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
