CreateTable

Create a new ABAP table in an SAP system by specifying name, description, package, and transport request. 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?

No annotations provided, so description must cover behaviors. It mentions 'initial state' but doesn't explain implications, permissions, or side effects of creation. Inadequate for a mutation tool.

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?

Description is short but contains redundancy ('Operation: Create. Subject: Table.' followed by similar statements). Could be more concise and front-loaded with key purpose.

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?

Lacks important context: no output schema, no error handling info, no mention of idempotency or behavior if table exists. For a creation tool with many siblings, more detail is needed.

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 parameter descriptions. The tool description does not add any parameter-specific information beyond the schema, meeting baseline for high coverage.

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 identifies the operation (Create) and resource (ABAP table), and specifies it's for SAP system and initial state. However, it is repetitive and could be more distinctive from sibling tools like CreateStructure.

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 vs alternatives such as CreateStructure or CreateView. No prerequisites, when-not-to-use, or context given.

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