CreateStructure

Create a new ABAP structure in SAP by specifying fields, includes, and activation. Define structure name, package, and field details using SAP naming conventions.

Instructions

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

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
structure_nameYesStructure name (e.g., ZZ_S_TEST_001). Must follow SAP naming conventions.
descriptionNoStructure description. If not provided, structure_name will be used.
package_nameYesPackage name (e.g., ZOK_LOCAL, $TMP for local objects)
transport_requestNoTransport request number (e.g., E19K905635). Required for transportable packages.
fieldsYesArray of structure fields
includesNoInclude other structures in this structure
activateNoActivate structure after creation. Default: true. Set to false for batch operations (activate multiple objects later).
Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations, the description must convey behavioral traits, but it only says 'Creates the structure object in initial state.' It does not mention side effects, authorization needs, the effect of the 'activate' parameter, or whether the tool can overwrite existing structures.

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 repetitive phrasing ('Create... Structure' repeated three times). It wastes space on obvious statements like 'Operation: Create. Subject: Structure.' and could be condensed to one clear sentence.

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 does not explain what happens after creation (e.g., whether it returns the structure key or ID), nor does it mention the interaction with 'ActivateStructure' or other sibling tools. Given the complexity of ABAP object creation and 7 parameters, this is insufficient.

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 coverage is 100% with detailed parameter descriptions (e.g., naming conventions, data types). The description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides, 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 an ABAP structure ('Create a new ABAP structure...'). However, it does not differentiate from sibling 'Create*' tools (e.g., CreateTable, CreateClass) which also create SAP objects, missing an opportunity to specify uniqueness.

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 CreateTable or CreateDataElement. The phrase 'Will be useful for creating structure' is vague and does not exclude other creation scenarios or specify prerequisites beyond parameters.

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