Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| search_bw_objectsC | Search for BW modeling objects by name or description. |
| list_infoareasA | List all InfoAreas in the BW system. InfoAreas are organizational folders used to group BW objects. |
| list_infoobjectsB | List InfoObjects in the BW system. InfoObjects are the smallest units of information in BW (characteristics, key figures, time characteristics, units). |
| list_adsosC | List Advanced DataStore Objects (ADSOs) in the BW system. ADSOs are the primary data storage objects in BW4/HANA. |
| list_composite_providersA | List CompositeProviders (HCPRs) in the BW system. CompositeProviders combine multiple data sources (ADSOs, InfoObjects, Open ODS Views) for reporting via union or join. |
| list_queriesC | List BEx/BW Queries in the system. Queries are reporting definitions built on top of CompositeProviders or ADSOs. |
| get_object_detailsB | Get detailed metadata for a specific BW object. |
| get_adso_fieldsB | Get the field list (InfoObjects) of an Advanced DataStore Object. |
| get_composite_provider_partsB | Get the part providers (data sources) of a CompositeProvider. |
| get_infoobject_detailsC | Get detailed properties of an InfoObject (characteristic or key figure). |
| get_infoarea_contentsC | List all objects within a specific InfoArea. |
| check_connectionA | Test the connection to the BW system. Returns: Connection status with system info or error details. |
| get_transformation_detailsB | Get detailed metadata for a transformation including source, target, and rule information. |
| get_query_filtersA | Read the filter restrictions defined on a BW Query. Retrieves the query model from the BW Modeling API and extracts the global query filter: for each restricted characteristic it returns the fixed value ranges and/or the variable references that restrict it. Each filter is labelled with its BEx filter type (from usageType):
|
| get_query_structureC | List the characteristics and key figures used in a BW Query. |

TDQS
Scored across 15 tools
Tools are mostly distinct by object type (list_* for different resources), but some overlap exists: get_object_details is generic and could conflict with get_infoobject_details, and get_infoarea_contents overlaps with list_* for hierarchical access. Descriptions clarify usage, but a few boundaries are fuzzy.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern using snake_case (search_, list_, get_, check_). The pattern is uniform across the entire set, with predictable verb choices and plural nouns for list operations.
15 tools is well-scoped for a BW modeling API. Each tool serves a distinct functional need (listing, details, specific operations), and the count feels neither sparse nor overwhelming for the domain.
The API covers read-only exploration of major BW objects (InfoAreas, InfoObjects, ADSOs, CompositeProviders, Queries), but lacks listing for transformations (only get_transformation_details) and no list for Open ODS Views. There are no write operations, which may be intentional, but the missing listing for some object types creates notable gaps.
