ABAP-ADT-API MCP-Server

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full burden. It mentions 'Perform ABAP syntax check', which implies a read-only analysis operation, but does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether it requires authentication, has rate limits, returns specific error formats, or what happens upon execution (e.g., output format, success/failure indicators). This leaves significant gaps in understanding the tool's behavior.

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

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

The description is a single, efficient sentence that is front-loaded with the core action. There is no wasted text, making it appropriately concise. However, it could benefit from more structure if additional details were included.

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

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

Given the complexity of a syntax check tool with no annotations, no output schema, and poor parameter documentation, the description is incomplete. It does not provide enough context for an AI agent to understand how to invoke it correctly, what to expect in return, or how it differs from sibling tools, making it inadequate for effective use.

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

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

The input schema has 1 parameter with 0% description coverage, and the description does not add any meaning beyond the schema. It mentions 'CDS URL' but does not explain what a CDS URL is, its format, or examples. With low schema coverage, the description fails to compensate, leaving the parameter poorly documented.

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

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

The description states the tool's purpose as 'Perform ABAP syntax check with CDS URL', which includes a verb ('Perform'), resource ('ABAP syntax check'), and method ('with CDS URL'). However, it's somewhat vague about what exactly a 'CDS URL' is and how it differs from other syntax check tools like 'syntaxCheckCode' or 'syntaxCheckTypes' among the siblings. It distinguishes itself by specifying 'CDS URL' but doesn't clearly explain what that entails.

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

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

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With siblings like 'syntaxCheckCode' and 'syntaxCheckTypes', the description does not indicate specific scenarios, prerequisites, or exclusions for using this tool. It lacks any context for selection among similar tools.

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