CreateDomain

Define a new ABAP domain in an SAP system by specifying its name, data type, length, and fixed values. The domain is created in initial state and can optionally be activated.

Instructions

Create a new ABAP domain in SAP system. Creates the domain object in initial state.

TDQS

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. Beyond 'creates the object in initial state', it says nothing about permissions required, what happens if the domain already exists, or the interaction between 'initial state' and the activate=true default — a significant gap for a 15-parameter 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

Two short sentences, front-loaded with the core action. The second sentence is largely redundant restatement, but nothing is bloated.

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?

For a mutation tool with 15 parameters, no annotations, and no output schema, the description is far too thin. It omits creation-failure conditions, transport requirements, and the meaning of the initial vs activated state, leaving the agent reliant entirely on the schema.

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?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so all 15 parameters (datatype, length, decimals, fixed_values, transport_request, etc.) are already documented in the schema. The description adds no parameter meaning beyond it, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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?

States a specific verb+resource (create an ABAP domain) and adds a state note ('initial state'), which distinguishes it from GetDomain/UpdateDomain/DeleteDomain by name. However, it does not explicitly differentiate itself from the sibling CheckDomain or ActivateDomain, and the 'initial state' claim sits in tension with the schema's activate default of true.

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 when-to-use guidance, no prerequisites (e.g., run CheckDomain first, or that transportable packages need a transport_request), and no alternatives named. The agent must infer everything from the name and schema.

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