CreateInterface

Creates a new ABAP interface in an SAP system, initializing it for subsequent source code definition.

Instructions

Create a new ABAP interface in SAP system. Creates the interface object in initial state. Use UpdateInterface to set source code afterwards.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
descriptionNoInterface description. If not provided, interface_name will be used.
package_nameYesPackage name (e.g., ZOK_LAB, $TMP for local objects)
interface_nameYesInterface name (e.g., ZIF_TEST_INTERFACE_001). Must follow SAP naming conventions (start with Z or Y).
transport_requestNoTransport request number (e.g., E19K905635). Required for transportable packages.
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the creation is transactional, what happens if the interface already exists, or if the transport request is mandatory for non-$TMP packages. The initial state mention is helpful but insufficient.

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?

The description is extremely concise with two sentences, front-loading the core purpose and providing immediate guidance on next steps. Every sentence adds value.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given no output schema, the description does not explain return values or success indicators, which would be important for an agent to confirm completion. The context is moderately complete for a creation tool but lacks details on response behavior.

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 description coverage is 100%, so parameters are well-documented in the schema. The description adds context about the object being in 'initial state' and the need for UpdateInterface, but does not elaborate on specific parameter semantics beyond what the schema provides.

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 verb 'Create' and resource 'ABAP interface', specifying it creates the object in initial state. It distinguishes from sibling UpdateInterface by advising to use that for setting source code afterwards.

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 tells when to use an alternative (UpdateInterface for source code), implying this tool is for initial creation only. However, it does not specify prerequisites like package existence or transport request handling beyond the schema.

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