THE RISK

Why adt_run_atc_transport needs a policy

While the tool does not directly delete or modify data (which would be Destructive or Write), it executes a quality assurance workflow that processes and analyzes ABAP objects in a transport. This is an Execute category because it triggers automated operations on a system (SAP ATC testing) that can have consequential side effects (test failures, blocking transport promotion, affecting deployment pipelines).

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Run ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) over every object in a transport request' — the verb 'run' combined with the action of executing a test suite over a transport request indicates code execution.

POLICY

How to control adt_run_atc_transport

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_run_atc_transport:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "adt_run_atc_transport": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "adt_run_atc_transport_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

adt_run_atc_transport stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

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

FAQ

Questions about adt_run_atc_transport

What does the adt_run_atc_transport tool do? +

Run ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) over every object in a transport request via the full ADT worklist flow. Resolves the transport. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Claude For Abap MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on adt_run_atc_transport? +

Register the Claude For Abap MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for adt_run_atc_transport: 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_run_atc_transport? +

adt_run_atc_transport is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit adt_run_atc_transport? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the adt_run_atc_transport 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.

How do I block adt_run_atc_transport completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for adt_run_atc_transport. 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.

What MCP server provides adt_run_atc_transport? +

adt_run_atc_transport 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.

Enforce policy on every Claude For Abap tool call.
