List all security roles with optional search filter.
AI agents call list_roles to retrieve information from SyntaAI SAP Security MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries security role information from SAP systems. It has no side effects, does not execute code, does not modify data, and does not delete or move resources. The optional search filter is still a read-only query operation. While the data returned (security roles) is sensitive and could inform a threat actor, the tool itself performs only passive enumeration.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'list_roles' and description states 'List all security roles with optional search filter' — purely a data retrieval operation with no modification or execution capability.
