CreateFunctionGroup

Creates an ABAP function group as a container for function modules in SAP systems, using stateful session for lock management. Requires function group name and package name.

Instructions

Create a new ABAP function group in SAP system. Function groups serve as containers for function modules. Uses stateful session for proper lock management.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
activateNoActivate function group after creation. Default: true. Set to false for batch operations.
descriptionNoFunction group description. If not provided, function_group_name will be used.
package_nameYesPackage name (e.g., ZOK_LAB, $TMP for local objects)
transport_requestNoTransport request number (e.g., E19K905635). Required for transportable packages.
function_group_nameYesFunction group name (e.g., ZTEST_FG_001). Must follow SAP naming conventions (start with Z or Y, max 26 chars).
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the burden. It mentions stateful session for lock management, which is useful, but does not disclose potential side effects like authorization requirements, overwrite behavior, or what happens with the activate parameter. The description partially compensates but is incomplete.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences that front-load the purpose and add one behavioral detail. No wasted words.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no annotations or output schema, the description adequately covers the creation purpose and lock management. However, it could be more complete by discussing activation behavior or transport requirements, though the schema handles parameter details.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so parameters are well described in the schema. The description adds context about function groups being containers, but does not enhance understanding of individual parameters beyond what the schema provides. Baseline score of 3 is appropriate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action (create), resource (ABAP function group), and context (containers for function modules). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like CreateFunctionModule which creates modules within a group.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides context for when to use (creation of function groups) and mentions stateful session for lock management, but lacks explicit when-not-to-use or alternative tool guidance. The sibling list implies distinct usage, but no direct exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
