CreateFunctionGroup

Create ABAP function groups in SAP systems to containerize function modules, ensuring proper lock management through stateful sessions.

Instructions

Create a new ABAP function group in SAP system. Function groups serve as containers for function modules. Uses stateful session for proper lock management.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
function_group_nameYesFunction group name (e.g., ZTEST_FG_001). Must follow SAP naming conventions (start with Z or Y, max 26 chars).
descriptionNoFunction group description. If not provided, function_group_name will be used.
package_nameYesPackage name (e.g., ZOK_LAB, $TMP for local objects)
transport_requestNoTransport request number (e.g., E19K905635). Required for transportable packages.
activateNoActivate function group after creation. Default: true. Set to false for batch operations.
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It discloses stateful session usage and lock management, but omits details about transport request handling, activation side effects, or error scenarios, providing only basic behavioral context.

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?

Three sentences efficiently convey purpose, context, and an important behavioral detail. No redundant information; front-loaded with the core action.

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?

The description lacks details on mandatory transport request handling for transportable packages, activation implications, and what happens upon failure. Given 5 parameters and no output schema, this is insufficient for an agent to fully understand the tool's lifecycle.

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 the schema already documents all parameters. The description adds no extra parameter meaning beyond 'Uses stateful session for proper lock management,' which is unrelated to parameters. Baseline score of 3 applies.

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?

The description clearly states the tool creates a new ABAP function group, defines function groups as containers for function modules, and distinguishes it from siblings like CreateFunctionModule or CreateClass by its specific resource and verb.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description mentions using a stateful session for proper lock management, which suggests when it should be used, but does not explicitly exclude scenarios or name alternative tools for similar tasks, leaving the agent to infer usage context.

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