GetStructure

Retrieve the fields and types of an ABAP structure, with options for active or inactive version.

Instructions

Retrieve ABAP structure definition. Supports reading active or inactive version.

Input Schema

versionNoVersion to read: "active" (default) for deployed version, "inactive" for modified but not activated version.active
Behavior3/5

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

No annotations provided, so description must carry behavioral disclosure. It discloses the version feature (active/inactive) but does not mention error handling, required authorizations, or response format. For a read-only tool, the description is acceptable but minimal.

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?

Two short sentences, front-loaded with purpose. No extraneous text; every word earns its place. Efficient and clear.

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?

Given no output schema, the description does not explain what the returned structure definition contains (e.g., fields, data types). For a simple read tool, it may be sufficient for experienced users, but lacks completeness for an AI agent needing expected response structure.

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?

Input schema has 100% description coverage for both parameters. Description adds no extra meaning beyond what the schema already provides (e.g., version parameter is already described). Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Description clearly states the tool retrieves an ABAP structure definition, specifying the resource (structure) and verb (retrieve). It also distinguishes by noting support for active or inactive version, setting it apart from sibling Get* tools for other object types.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives, such as when to prefer GetStructure over GetObjectInfo or other retrieval tools. No mention of prerequisites or typical scenarios for using the inactive version.

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