Fetch the ABAP source of an object (program, class, interface, function module, include, CDS, table). Returns plain text. DDIC primitives without plain-text source (data element, domain, message class) return their ADT XML metadata instead (format:
AI agents call adt_get_source 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 and queries source code and metadata from SAP ABAP objects without any side effects. It enables reading existing objects (programs, classes, interfaces, function modules, includes, CDS views, tables, and data elements) but does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Fetch the ABAP source of an object' and 'Returns plain text' or 'ADT XML metadata'. No modification, deletion, or execution capability described. Verb 'Fetch' confirms retrieval-only operation.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access adt_get_source gives an agent:
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_get_source:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"adt_get_source": {}
}
}adt_get_source is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Fetch the ABAP source of an object (program, class, interface, function module, include, CDS, table). Returns plain text. DDIC primitives without plain-text source (data element, domain, message class) return their ADT XML metadata instead (format:. 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_get_source: 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_get_source 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_get_source 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_get_source. 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_get_source 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.
Free to start. No card required.
