Get real-world usage examples for a specific command with parameter combinations, scenarios, and expected outputs. Essential for understanding how to use commands correctly.
AI agents call hana_examples 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.
hana_examples retrieves and displays documentation and example data about how to use commands. It does not execute queries, modify data, delete records, or trigger operations—it only reads and presents reference information. This is a classic Read category tool with low severity since misuse would only result in viewing documentation rather than impacting actual systems or data.
From the tool's definition The tool description states it 'Get[s] real-world usage examples' with 'parameter combinations, scenarios, and expected outputs.' This is purely informational retrieval with no modification, deletion, or execution of database commands.

Get real-world usage examples for a specific command with parameter combinations, scenarios, and expected outputs. Essential for understanding how to use commands correctly. 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_examples: 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_examples 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_examples 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_examples. 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_examples 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.
