GetInactiveObjects

List inactive ABAP objects—modified and pending activation—including classes, tables, and CDS views to identify what needs activation.

Instructions

[read-only] Get a list of inactive ABAP objects — modified and pending activation. Shows classes, tables, CDS views, and other objects awaiting activation. Recordable: in batch mode a call is recorded under the next number and answers with empty content; its answer is read by number after the batch ends.

Tool call template

This tool declares no required parameters. Add optional parameters from the input schema as needed.

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the disclosure burden and does so reasonably: it labels the tool read-only, identifies the result set, and explains the batch-mode behavior where calls are recorded and answers are retrieved later by number. It does not cover permissions or response limitations beyond that.

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?

The description is front-loaded with purpose and scope, then adds the important batch-mode behavior in one additional sentence. Every sentence contributes useful information without repetition.

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 one-parameter read-only list tool with no output schema, the description is largely complete: it states what is returned, gives object examples, and covers batch behavior. The only minor gap is that it does not describe the response structure in more detail.

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?

There is only one parameter, and the schema description coverage is 100%, including the full enum meaning for detail. The description does not add anything about the detail parameter, so the baseline of 3 is appropriate because the schema already documents it fully.

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: get inactive ABAP objects that are modified and pending activation. It also names concrete object types (classes, tables, CDS views), so the agent can distinguish it from activation and generic object-listing siblings.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description makes clear when this tool applies: inspecting objects awaiting activation. It also explains the batch-mode recording behavior, but it does not explicitly name a sibling to use for activation or say when not to use this tool.

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