THE RISK

Why adt_search_objects needs a policy

The tool searches and retrieves metadata about ABAP objects based on name patterns. It does not modify, execute, delete, or commit any data—it only returns matching results from the repository. This is a classic Read operation with minimal blast radius if misused by an AI agent.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'adt_search_objects' and description state it performs 'Quick-search the ABAP repository for objects whose name matches a pattern.' This is a query operation that retrieves data with no side effects.

POLICY

How to control adt_search_objects

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_search_objects:

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "adt_search_objects": {}
  }
}

adt_search_objects is read-only, so it stays allowed — but 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.
