DeleteMessageClass

Deletes an ABAP message class and all its messages from an SAP system via ADT, requiring a transport request for transportable objects.

Instructions

Delete an ABAP message class (MSAG) and all of its messages from the SAP system via ADT deletion API. Transport request required for transportable objects, optional for local objects. Runs outside batch mode.

TDQS

A3.9/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the full burden and does reasonably well: it discloses the cascade deletion of all messages, the transport requirement, and that it cannot run in batch mode. It omits irreversibility, permission/authorization requirements, and failure behavior, but the core destructive profile is surfaced.

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 tight sentences with the destructive action and cascade front-loaded, followed by prerequisites. Minor redundancy with the transport_request schema description keeps it from a 5.

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

Completeness4/5

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

For a 3-parameter destructive tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers the action, scope of destruction, transport prerequisite, and batch-mode caveat. Missing only authorization/irreversibility detail, which is a modest gap given the otherwise complete picture.

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%, so all three parameters are already documented in the schema. The description's transport-request sentence merely restates the schema's own note, and it adds no meaning for the message_class_name or detail enum parameters. Baseline 3 applies when the schema does the heavy lifting.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: delete an ABAP message class (MSAG), and explicitly notes the cascade ('all of its messages'). This cleanly distinguishes it from the sibling DeleteMessageClassMessage, which removes a single message.

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?

Provides a useful prerequisite — transport request required for transportable objects, optional for local ones — and notes it runs outside batch mode. However, it never explicitly routes the agent between this tool, DeleteMessageClassMessage, and UpdateMessageClass; the when-to-use vs. alternatives is left implicit.

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