DeleteDdl

Deletes a DDL source from an SAP system using the ADT deletion API, with an optional transport request for local objects.

Instructions

Delete a DDL source from the SAP system via ADT deletion API. Transport request optional for local objects. Runs outside batch mode.

Tool call template

Replace each placeholder with a value matching the input schema. Only required parameters are included; add optional parameters as needed.

{
  "id": 1,
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "arguments": {
      "ddl_name": "<ddl_name>"
    },
    "name": "DeleteDdl"
  }
}

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden. It usefully discloses that transportable objects need a transport number while local objects do not, and that the tool cannot be wrapped in BatchBegin/BatchEnd — both genuine behavioral facts beyond the schema. It says nothing about permission requirements, irreversibility, error behavior, or what comes back.

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

Conciseness5/5

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

Three short sentences, front-loaded with the action and constraint, with zero filler. Each sentence adds a distinct fact.

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 mutation with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers transport semantics and batch-mode exclusion but omits permission requirements, failure modes, and what a successful deletion returns. Adequate, but it leaves real gaps for a delete operation.

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 ddl_name, detail, and transport_request. The description only echoes the transport rule that already appears in the schema; baseline 3 applies since the structured fields do the heavy lifting.

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?

Specific verb plus resource ("Delete a DDL source") with the backend mechanism named (ADT deletion API), which cleanly separates it from siblings like DeleteTable, DeleteStructure, or DeleteServiceDefinition. It stops short of explicitly naming a sibling or a precondition, so it lands just under a 5.

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?

"Transport request optional for local objects" and "Runs outside batch mode" give real invocation context, including a constraint an agent would not infer. However, there is no statement of when to prefer this over a delete alternative, or what prerequisites (inactive object, check first) apply.

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