Run a query or read a provider and return its data. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_query_data", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_data", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Activate an object with the lock handle a write returned, check it without activating, release a lock, or activate a process chain. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_activate", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Delete a BW object permanently. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_delete", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Execute: run a DTP, start a process chain or repeat a failed step, activate or delete a request, run a remodeling request. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_run", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Create or change an aDSO: structure, keys, settings, planning mode. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_write_adso", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Create or change an InfoObject and its hierarchies. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_write_infoobject", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Create or change an InfoSource. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_write_infosource", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Create or change a CompositeProvider. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_write_composite_provider", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Create a transformation, change the rule of a field, and set or remove its routines and runtime. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_write_transformation", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Create or change a DTP, including its filters and a filter routine. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_write_dtp", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Create a DataSource, set its fields, change its delta process. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_write_datasource", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Create or change an Open Hub Destination. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_write_open_hub", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Create or change a query and its reusable components: layout, filter, key figures, characteristics, cells, exceptions, settings, restricted and calculated key figures, structures, variables, role assignments. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_write_query", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Create or change planning objects: aggregation levels, planning functions, sequences, filters, conversion types. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_write_planning", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Create or change a process chain: steps, edges, DTP and program steps, error links, decision variants. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_write_process_chain", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Repository management: InfoAreas, moving objects, package and transport assignment, transport tasks. The operation enum lists every operation with what it requires; bw_describe(tool: "bw_manage", operation: "…") gives the complete parameter definition of one.

Describe the focused tools: without arguments the catalogue of every tool and its operations; with tool and the operation value (type for bw_read, operation otherwise) the complete parameter definition of that operation.
