CreateTable

Create a new ABAP table in an SAP system by specifying the table name and package, with optional description and transport request. This tool initializes the table object for further development.

Instructions

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

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
table_nameYesTable name (e.g., ZZ_TEST_TABLE_001). Must follow SAP naming conventions.
descriptionNoTable description for validation and creation.
package_nameYesPackage name (e.g., ZOK_LOCAL, $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?

With no annotations, the description must fully disclose behavior. It only mentions 'initial state' but fails to explain required permissions, side effects, or what subsequent steps (like activation) are needed. This is insufficient for a creation tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness2/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is repetitive, with 'Operation: Create. Subject: Table.' and 'Will be useful for creating table.' adding little value. It could be more streamlined while retaining essential information.

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 no output schema and multiple parameters, the description should explain outcomes like table activation or transport handling. It only hints at 'initial state' without elaboration, leaving gaps.

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 meaning beyond the schema, maintaining the baseline of 3.

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 table in an SAP system, differentiating it from sibling tools like CreateStructure or CreateClass. The phrase 'initial state' adds some specificity, though it could be more precise.

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 on when to use this tool versus alternatives like CheckTable, ActivateTable, or UpdateTable. The description lacks context on prerequisites or scenarios where this tool is appropriate.

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