DeleteBehaviorImplementation

Deletes an ABAP behavior implementation from an SAP system using the ADT deletion API; optionally specify a transport request for transportable objects.

Instructions

Delete an ABAP behavior implementation from the SAP system via ADT deletion API. Transport request optional for local objects. Runs outside batch mode.

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations present, the description carries the full burden. It does disclose two real behavioral traits — transport-request handling differs for local vs transportable objects, and the tool runs outside batch mode — but says nothing about permissions, reversibility, dependent objects, or what happens if the object is active or locked.

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?

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the action and resource, with no filler. The batch-mode note is terse but earns its place as a constraint.

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

Completeness3/5

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

For a destructive, no-annotation, no-output-schema tool, the description covers the transport nuance and the batch restriction but leaves out preconditions (object state, locks, activation status) and post-delete effects that an agent would need before committing to a delete.

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 three parameters, including the local/transportable transport_request rule that the description repeats. Baseline 3 applies; the description adds no syntax or format detail beyond the schema.

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?

Names a specific verb and resource (delete an ABAP behavior implementation) and identifies the mechanism (ADT deletion API), which distinguishes it from sibling mutation tools like DeleteBehaviorDefinition or DeleteClass. It does not explicitly name a sibling it should not be confused with, but the resource noun is precise enough for an agent to select correctly.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The line 'Transport request optional for local objects' plus 'Runs outside batch mode' implies usage context (local/transportable objects, not usable inside BatchBegin/BatchEnd) but never states prerequisites, when deletion is appropriate, or what to do instead if the object is locked or active.

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