DescribeByList
Describes multiple ABAP repository objects in one call, returning each object's type, description, and package. Pass a list of object names and optional types to retrieve metadata together.
Instructions
[read-only] Describes each repository object named in objects, in one call: its type, description and package. Input: objects: Array<{ name: string, type?: string }>. Each object may be of type: PROG/P, FUGR, PROG/I, CLAS/OC, FUGR/FC, INTF/OI, TABLE, STRUCTURE, etc. Runs on an ABAP session of its own. Optional timeout (seconds): when it passes, the read is cancelled, its ABAP session logged off, and the system stays as it was. Set it below your MCP client's request limit — the TypeScript SDK's client cancels at 60 s; a client's cancel ends only the client's wait, and SAP runs the read on. 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.

}Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| objects | Yes | ||
| timeout | No | Seconds to wait for the answer: a whole number, at least 1, no default — without it the call waits until SAP answers. When it passes, the read is cancelled (its ABAP session is logged off) and the call answers that nothing was changed. Set it below your MCP client's request limit — the TypeScript SDK's client cancels at 60 s; a cancel does nothing to SAP. |
