Why adt_list_dumps needs a policy

This tool retrieves and queries runtime dump information from SAP systems via the ST22 feed. It has no side effects on data — it only reads diagnostic logs. While the information exposed (error details, user identifiers, program names) could be sensitive in a security context, the tool itself performs only read operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'adt_list_dumps' and description state it 'List[s] ABAP short dumps' and 'exposes id, runtime error name, terminated program, timestamp, user' — pure retrieval of diagnostic data with no modification or deletion.

How to control adt_list_dumps

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_list_dumps:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "adt_list_dumps": {}
  }
}

adt_list_dumps is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Claude For Abap — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

It is categorised as a Read tool in the Claude For Abap MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

How do I enforce a policy on adt_list_dumps? +

Register the Claude For Abap MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for adt_list_dumps: 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.

What risk level is adt_list_dumps? +

adt_list_dumps is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit adt_list_dumps? +
