CreateInterface

Create a new ABAP interface in an SAP system by specifying interface name and package, with optional description and transport request.

Instructions

Operation: Create. Subject: Interface. Will be useful for creating interface. Create a new ABAP interface in SAP system. Creates the interface object in initial state.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
interface_nameYesInterface name (e.g., ZIF_TEST_INTERFACE_001). Must follow SAP naming conventions (start with Z or Y).
descriptionNoInterface description. If not provided, interface_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.
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are present, so the description must disclose behavior. It states the interface is created in an initial state but fails to mention authorization needs, side effects, or whether it overwrites existing objects.

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 redundant phrases like 'Operation: Create. Subject: Interface.' and 'Will be useful for creating interface.' These do not add value and could be removed.

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's simplicity and full schema coverage, the description is incomplete. It lacks usage context, behavioral details, and reference to the object state after creation (typically inactive in SAP).

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?

The input schema has 100% coverage with parameter descriptions. The description adds no additional parameter context, so baseline 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?

The description clearly states the tool creates a new ABAP interface, specifying the resource type. However, it does not differentiate among sibling Create* tools beyond the subject, and the wording is somewhat redundant.

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 is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives like UpdateInterface or DeleteInterface, nor are prerequisites (e.g., package existence, transport requirements) mentioned.

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