CreateFunctionModule

Create an empty ABAP function module in an existing function group by providing the function group and module name, with optional transport request.

Instructions

Create a new ABAP function module within an existing function group. Creates the function module in initial state. Use UpdateFunctionModule to set source code afterwards.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
descriptionNoOptional description for the function module
transport_requestNoTransport request number (e.g., E19K905635). Required for transportable packages.
function_group_nameYesParent function group name (e.g., ZTEST_FG_001)
function_module_nameYesFunction module name (e.g., Z_TEST_FUNCTION_001). Must follow SAP naming conventions (start with Z or Y, max 30 chars).
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries burden. States 'creates in initial state', which is transparent about the result. But lacks details on side effects, permissions, or error conditions.

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 sentences, no wasted words. Front-loads purpose and immediately provides actionable guidance. Very efficient.

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 schema covers all parameters and no output schema, description provides necessary workflow context. Could mention prerequisite that function group must exist, but overall adequate.

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%, and description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema's parameter descriptions. Baseline 3 applies as description doesn't enhance understanding.

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?

Description clearly states it creates a new ABAP function module within an existing function group and distinguishes from UpdateFunctionModule. Verb 'Create' and resource 'function module' are specific.

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?

Explicitly says to use UpdateFunctionModule to set source code afterwards, providing a clear workflow. Implies function group must exist, but could be more explicit about prerequisites.

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