CreateBehaviorDefinition

Create a new ABAP behavior definition (BDEF) for a CDS view entity in an SAP system, specifying implementation type and package.

Instructions

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must carry full burden. It mentions creating in 'initial state' but does not explain what that means, nor does it disclose authorization needs, side effects, or whether activation happens (though 'activate' parameter exists). The description is insufficient for a mutation tool.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is short but contains redundancy: 'Operation: Create. Subject: BehaviorDefinition.' and 'Create a new ABAP Behavior Definition (BDEF) in SAP system.' could be merged. It is front-loaded but not optimally concise.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the tool has 8 parameters (4 required), no output schema, and no annotations, the description is too brief. It fails to explain what a behavior definition is, the meaning of 'initial state', or any usage context. The agent would lack sufficient information to use the tool correctly.

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

Parameters3/5

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

Input schema has 100% description coverage for all 8 parameters. The description does not add extra meaning beyond the schema, but baseline is 3 due to high schema coverage.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the verb 'Create' and the resource 'BehaviorDefinition', and mentions creating a new ABAP Behavior Definition in SAP system. However, the phrase 'Will be useful for creating behavior definition' is slightly redundant and adds little.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus sibling tools like CreateClass or CreateTable. The description does not mention alternative scenarios or prerequisites.

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