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_packages:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"adt_list_packages": {}
}
}adt_list_packages is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for adt_list_packages. 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_list_packages 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.
