bw_transport_create

Create a new transport request for a referenced SAP BW object, specifying its URI and a description.

Instructions

Create a new transport request for a referenced object.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
refUriYesObject URI the transport is for.
devclassNo
outputPathNoIf provided, the full result is written to this path (under the workdir) and the tool returns only a small summary envelope { ok, outputPath, bytes, summary }. Objects/arrays are written as JSON; ONLY the bw_*_get_xml family writes the raw XML string as plain text (that file is directly reusable as xmlPath in a later save call). Other *_get tools (e.g. bw_dtp_get, bw_trfn_get) write the PARSED XML-to-JSON tree, not raw XML — use the matching bw_*_get_xml tool when you need the raw XML string. Use outputPath for large responses (XML, table data, logs, dataflow graphs). When set, tools skip inline pagination/projection so the file contains the complete payload.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits itself. It only says 'Create' and gives no information about side effects, required permissions, reversibility, return values, or failure behavior—significant gaps for a mutation tool.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is a single concise sentence that is easy to parse and front-loaded with the action. However, it is terse to the point of omitting parameter context, usage direction, and any behavioral notes, so it sacrifices substance for brevity.

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

Completeness2/5

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

This is a creation tool with no annotations and no output schema, and the description does not explain return values, side effects, the meaning of devclass, or the role of outputPath. The schema supplies some parameter detail, but the overall definition is not complete enough for an agent to use confidently.

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 75%: refUri, outputPath, and description are documented in the input schema, but devclass lacks a description. The top-level tool description adds no parameter-specific meaning, but the schema already covers most parameters, so the baseline of 3 applies.

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?

The description uses a specific verb ('create') and resource ('transport request') and clarifies the target is 'a referenced object'. It is distinguishable from sibling create tools like bw_area_create or bw_dtp_create by the resource type, though it does not explicitly contrast against them.

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?

There is no guidance about when to use this tool versus alternatives, no stated prerequisites, and no mention of how it relates to bw_transport_check or other transport-related operations. The description merely states the action without any context or exclusions.

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