Read variable values from the currently attached debuggee. Pass
AI agents call adt_debug_variables 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 retrieves debugging information (variable values) from an active debugging session. It has no side effects on the system state, does not create, modify, or delete data, and does not execute code. It is purely observational.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate it "Read[s] variable values from the currently attached debuggee." The verb 'Read' and absence of any modification, deletion, or execution language confirms retrieval-only behavior.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Read variable values from the currently attached debuggee. Pass. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude For Abap MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Claude For Abap MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for adt_debug_variables: 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 Claude For Abap. Nothing to install.
adt_debug_variables 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 adt_debug_variables 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 adt_debug_variables. 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.
adt_debug_variables 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.
adt_debug_variables is one line of Claude For Abap's registry record.
The record carries the whole server: verified identity, auth posture, risk grade, every tool classified, recommended policy — re-checked continuously.
