Search across all hana-cli resources: documentation, commands, workflows, examples, and presets. Use scope to narrow results. Default searches everything with relevance scoring.
AI agents call hana_search 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_search is a discovery and information retrieval tool that queries metadata and documentation without executing commands, modifying data, or triggering side effects. It serves as a navigation aid for the SAP HANA CLI tool ecosystem. The actual execution of any HANA operations would require separate tool invocations; this tool only returns search results.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'Search[es] across all hana-cli resources: documentation, commands, workflows, examples, and presets' with no mention of modification, deletion, or execution capabilities.

Search across all hana-cli resources: documentation, commands, workflows, examples, and presets. Use scope to narrow results. Default searches everything with relevance scoring. 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_search: 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_search 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_search 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_search. 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_search 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.
