CreateMessageClass

Create a new ABAP message class (T100) shell for a package; add messages afterward. This initializes the class without activating it.

Instructions

Create a new ABAP message class (T100) shell. Individual messages are added afterwards with CreateMessageClassMessage. Message classes are not activated.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the behavior burden and does disclose two meaningful traits: this creates only a shell (not a populated class) and the result is not activated. It omits permissions/auth requirements and what the response contains, but the non-activation caveat is exactly the kind of non-obvious behavior an agent needs.

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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the core action, no filler. Each clause adds information: the shell nature, the follow-up sibling, and the non-activation caveat.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a create operation with no annotations, no output schema, and fully documented parameters, the description covers what is created, what is left to a sibling tool, and the activation state. It is complete enough to invoke correctly, with only auth/response details missing.

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 six parameters including optionality, defaults, and the transport_request requirement. The description adds no parameter-level detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 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?

Specific verb+resource: "Create a new ABAP message class (T100) shell." It also distinguishes itself from CreateMessageClassMessage by stating that individual messages are added afterwards with that sibling, so an agent can route correctly without opening either schema.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It names the sibling CreateMessageClassMessage and the condition under which it is used (adding individual messages afterwards). It also implies a follow-up step by noting classes are not activated, but it does not explicitly point to an activation tool, so guidance is clear but not fully exhaustive.

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