Cause

As of SPE 8.2.1, SPE leverages the WebPulse technology for URL filtering and URL Reputation functionality.  With WebPulse integration there are no definitions/signatures to download for URL filtering or URL reputation.

Resolution

This is expected behavior and the SPE is working as designed.
