CreatePackage

Create a new ABAP package to organize development objects in SAP. Specify package name and parent package, with optional transport layer, language, and software component.

Instructions

Create a new ABAP package in SAP system. Packages are containers for development objects and are essential for organizing code.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
descriptionNoPackage description. If not provided, package_name will be used.
package_nameYesPackage name (e.g., ZOK_TEST_0002). Must follow SAP naming conventions (start with Z or Y for customer namespace).
package_typeNoPackage type: 'development' (default) or 'structure'development
super_packageYesParent package name (e.g., ZOK_PACKAGE). Required for structure packages.
record_changesNoEnable change recording for the package. Required for transportable packages. Default: false.
master_languageNoOptional master/original language for the created object (e.g. "EN", "DE", "ZH"). Defaults to the session language (SAP_LANGUAGE) or EN.
transport_layerNoTransport layer (e.g., ZE19). Required for transportable packages.
transport_requestNoTransport request number (e.g., E19K905635). Required if package is transportable.
software_componentNoSoftware component (e.g., HOME, ZLOCAL). If not provided, SAP will set a default (typically ZLOCAL for local packages).
application_componentNoApplication component (optional, e.g., BC-ABA)
Behavior1/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries full responsibility for disclosing behavioral traits. It only says "Create" which implies a write operation, but does not discuss side effects, required authorizations, system changes, or any risks. The description is insufficient for an agent to understand the impact of invoking this 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?

The description is concise with two short sentences. The first sentence immediately states the core purpose. The second sentence adds useful context but could be considered non-essential. Overall, it is efficient and front-loaded.

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 complexity (10 parameters, 2 required, no output schema), the description is quite sparse. It does not explain what happens after creation (e.g., return value, confirmation), nor does it provide usage instructions or conditions. The tool's purpose is clear, but the description lacks depth needed for proper agent decision-making.

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 baseline is 3. The description does not add any information about parameters beyond what the schema already provides. It neither clarifies parameter usage nor provides additional context.

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 "Create a new ABAP package" which identifies the verb and resource. It also explains that packages are containers for development objects, providing context. However, it does not explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like CheckPackage or UpdatePackage, so it misses the opportunity to clarify when to use Create over others.

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 (e.g., UpdatePackage, CheckPackage). There is no mention of prerequisites, when-not to use, or which scenarios are appropriate. The description is purely definitional.

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