Implementation Reference
- src/adt-client.ts:92-98 (handler)The actual implementation of searchObject in the AdtClient class. It performs an HTTP GET request to the SAP ADT repository information system search API with a query string and optional maxResults parameter, returning the raw XML response.
async searchObject(query: string, maxResults = 100): Promise<string> { const response = await this.http.get<string>( `/sap/bc/adt/repository/informationsystem/search?operation=quickSearch&query=${encodeURIComponent(query)}&maxResults=${maxResults}`, { headers: { Accept: "*/*" }, responseType: "text" } ); return response.data; } - src/mcp-server.ts:19-22 (schema)Zod schema (SearchObjectSchema) defining the input validation for the search_object tool: required 'query' string and optional 'max_results' number.
const SearchObjectSchema = z.object({ query: z.string(), max_results: z.number().optional(), }); - src/mcp-server.ts:433-445 (registration)Registration of the 'search_object' tool in the ListTools handler, defining its name, description, and input schema properties (query, max_results, system_id).
{ name: "search_object", description: "Search for ABAP repository objects by name pattern. Supports wildcards (*) for partial matches.", inputSchema: { type: "object" as const, properties: { query: { type: "string", description: "Search query (e.g. Z_MY* or CL_ABAP*)" }, max_results: { type: "number", description: "Maximum results to return (default: 100)" }, ...SYSTEM_ID_PROP, }, required: ["query"], }, }, - src/mcp-server.ts:1093-1097 (handler)The tool invocation handler for 'search_object' in the CallToolRequest handler. It parses args via SearchObjectSchema and calls client.searchObject(query, max_results), returning the result as text content.
case "search_object": { const { query, max_results } = SearchObjectSchema.parse(args); const results = await client.searchObject(query, max_results); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: results }] }; }
