List available conversation templates for common scenarios. Templates provide step-by-step guided workflows for tasks like data-exploration, troubleshooting, data-migration, performance-tuning, and security-audit.
AI agents call hana_conversation_templates to retrieve information from SAP HANA CLI without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool simply enumerates pre-built templates for guidance. It reads and presents metadata about available workflows without executing them, modifying data, or triggering external operations. The most severe action an AI could misuse this for would be to retrieve unhelpful or misleading template guidance, which has minimal blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List[s] available conversation templates' — a retrieval operation with no side effects. No modifications, deletions, code execution, or financial operations are involved.

List available conversation templates for common scenarios. Templates provide step-by-step guided workflows for tasks like data-exploration, troubleshooting, data-migration, performance-tuning, and security-audit. It is categorised as a Read tool in the SAP HANA CLI MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the SAP HANA CLI MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for hana_conversation_templates: 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 HANA CLI. Nothing to install.
hana_conversation_templates 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 hana_conversation_templates 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 hana_conversation_templates. 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.
hana_conversation_templates is provided by the SAP HANA CLI MCP server (hana-cli). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
