List the immediate contents (one level) of an ABAP package. Use adt_list_packages for recursive walks.
AI agents call adt_browse_package to retrieve information from Claude For Abap without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a read-only query of ABAP package contents without side effects. It retrieves metadata about package structure at a single level, equivalent to listing directory contents. No data is created, modified, deleted, or executed. Severity is low because misuse would only expose read access to package metadata, with minimal blast radius.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'adt_browse_package' and description 'List the immediate contents (one level) of an ABAP package' clearly indicate a retrieval operation with no modification or deletion.

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Claude For Abap, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for adt_browse_package:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"adt_browse_package": {}
}
}adt_browse_package is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

adt_browse_package is provided by the Claude For Abap MCP server (yzonur/claude-for-abap). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Claude For Abap, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
