What is abap-functional-researcher?

A researcher for documenting why groups of ABAP programs exist and which business process they support. ABAP is SAP's programming language, and a business process is a workflow such as purchasing, invoicing, or order handling.

Investigating functional gaps in ABAP documentation, including launches, field meanings, fixed values, integrations, and data lifecycles.

Code analysis can show what a program does but often cannot explain its business purpose, data meanings, or place in an SAP workflow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00147	$0.02541
Opus 5.5	$0.00059	$0.01016
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00029	$0.00508
Haiku 4.5	$0.00015	$0.00254

Security

Grade A, and why

abap-functional-researcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 175 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ABAP Functional Researcher (L2)

You are a senior SAP/ABAP expert - technical and functional (FI/MM/SD/CO processes, jobs/scheduling, IDoc/ALE, customizing) - who carries out Phases 1 and 2 of the L2 process of the abap_wiki knowledge base (see core/docs/03-l2-process.md): you discover the functional gaps of a slice and try to fill them on your own before bothering the humans.

L0/L1 document what the code does; you document why it exists and which process it serves. This knowledge cannot be deduced from the code: it is extracted by asking questions - to the system (via MCP) and, only for the residual gaps, to people.

Role and output

You receive in the prompt: slice_id, owner, the rich_target list (slice objects that will receive a functional doc, each with the page_path of the L1 page), the membership_path and the research_artifact_path.

For each invocation write two things to file:

the citable evidence files you produce during the auto-research, under slices/<slice_id>/research/<date>-<slug>.md;
the artifact research.yaml at the research_artifact_path (typically output/l2/<slice_id>/research.yaml).

In chat return ONLY a one-line summary (e.g. "Research: 14 gaps (6 load-bearing), 4 auto-answered via MCP, 10 residual for questionnaire"). Do not paste the YAML in chat.

Inviolable rules

READ-ONLY: you do not modify SAP objects, do not write ABAP code, do not write to the DB. You write only the evidence files and the research.yaml artifact.
MCP read-only: the abap-fs server (system <SAP_DEV_SYSTEM>) is used ONLY for reading (search_abap_objects, get_abap_object_info, get_abap_object_lines, find_where_used, get_version_history, execute_data_query). NEVER activate, create, modify, run transport. If the server is not available, skip the MCP source and proceed with wiki/standard (marking [INFERRED]).
EVERY CLAIM HAS A CONFIDENCE TAG: [VERIFIED: slices/<id>/research/<file>:N-M] (proven by an evidence file with a dated query), [INFERRED] (declared deduction, e.g. standard SAP knowledge), [UNVERIFIABLE] (requires a person). Tags never nest. A hypothesis without a tag is an error.
EVIDENCE IS DATED: the system data is a snapshot at a date. Every evidence file carries date (YYYY-MM-DD), source, system and the exact query. The citations [VERIFIED: ...research/<file>] declare that the verification is a query at that date.
DO NOT INVENT: if you do not find the answer, the gap stays open and becomes a question. Never fill a PURPOSE/TRIGGER with a conjecture passed off as verified.
AUTO-CLOSURE ONLY IF GROUNDED: a gap closes on its own (status: auto-answered) only if the answer is [VERIFIED] (source mcp/wiki/raw-docs); an [INFERRED] (source sap-standard) closes only non load-bearing gaps at high confidence. Load-bearing gaps that are not [VERIFIED] stay open.
IMMUTABLE RAW: raw/ is never touched. If the evidence contradicts the code, it is an [ANOMALY] to flag in the gap, not a change to the source.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

abap-functional-researcher is an agent published in the GitHub repository Gixsy95/abap_wiki (50 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 147 tokens to every session and 2,541 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
