bw_create_query

Create a BW query on an InfoProvider, either as a fresh empty query or by copying an existing query with its layout, filters, variables, and key figures.

Instructions

Create a new BW Query (TLOGO ELEM) on an InfoProvider in package $TMP. Without copy_from the query is created empty and consistent (no rows, columns, or key figures yet). With copy_from the new query is created as a full copy of an existing query (layout, filter, variables, key figures); the description parameter still applies to the copy, and infoprovider may be omitted (it is derived from the source query). Support for transportable packages is not yet available; only package $TMP is supported.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

    "arguments": {
      "query_name": "<query_name>"
    },

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
copy_fromNoTechnical name of an existing query to copy (e.g. "QUERY_NAME"). The new query is created as a full copy of its content.
query_nameYesTechnical name of the query to create (e.g. "QUERY_NAME").
descriptionNoQuery description. Defaults to query_name if omitted.
infoproviderNoTechnical name of the InfoProvider the query is built on (e.g. "PROVIDER_NAME"). Required unless copy_from is given, in which case it defaults to the source query's provider.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description reveals key behaviors: empty query creation without copy_from, full copy behavior with copy_from, defaulting of infoprovider, and limitation to $TMP package. It does not mention potential side effects like locking or permissions, but overall is transparent.

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 efficiently convey all necessary information without redundancy. The main action is stated upfront, and each clause adds distinct value.

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?

Covers the two main use cases (empty and copy) and the package limitation. Does not describe return values or error handling, but for a creation tool the output is implicit. Overall sufficiently complete for the complexity.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, but the description adds value beyond the schema by explaining the semantics of copy_from (full copy), defaulting of description, and conditional requirement for infoprovider. This aids in correct invocation.

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?

Clearly states the tool creates a new BW Query (TLOGO ELEM) on an InfoProvider in package $TMP, with specific details about the creation process including empty vs copy modes. This distinguishes it from sibling tools like bw_update_query_layout or bw_create_adso.

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?

Provides clear guidance on when to use copy_from vs empty creation, and notes that only $TMP package is supported. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or compare directly to alternatives like bw_update_query.

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