A set of guidance for SAP Joule, SAP’s AI assistant for working with business applications. It explains Joule’s capabilities and limits across S/4HANA Cloud, SuccessFactors, Ariba, and SAP Business Technology Platform, including natural-language transaction requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing Joule integrations, extensions, and API connections, or when deciding which SAP tasks should be handled by Joule.
Why use it?
It helps users understand what Joule can do, verify actions before they are confirmed, and avoid relying on it for complex processes without review.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

joule 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 6d 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.

SAP Joule

This skill enforces correct understanding of Joule's capabilities, limitations, and positioning — ensuring that Joule-generated transactions are always verified before confirming, complex multi-step processes are not delegated to Joule without verification, and consultants understand exactly where Joule's scope ends and SAP Superpowers begins.

Iron Laws

  1. ALWAYS VERIFY JOULE-GENERATED TRANSACTIONS BEFORE CONFIRMING. Joule interprets natural language and maps it to SAP transactions. Misinterpretation of ambiguous input produces incorrect transactions. Every Joule-generated action (PO creation, employee change, payment release) must be reviewed by the user before execution. Joule proposes; the user confirms.
  2. NEVER RELY ON JOULE FOR COMPLEX MULTI-STEP PROCESSES WITHOUT VERIFICATION. Joule excels at single-step queries and simple transactional tasks. Multi-step processes (month-end close, migration cutover, complex configuration) require process orchestration that exceeds Joule's current scope. Use Joule for individual steps; use process skills for orchestration.
  3. UNDERSTAND JOULE'S SCOPE LIMITATIONS PER APPLICATION. Joule's capabilities differ by SAP application and release level. Joule in S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition has different capabilities than Joule in SuccessFactors or Joule in BTP. Never assume a capability exists in one application because it works in another.
  4. NEVER TREAT JOULE AS A REPLACEMENT FOR SAP EXPERTISE. Joule assists users with transaction execution and information retrieval. It does not provide consulting judgment — system design, process optimization, risk assessment, or architecture decisions. Joule is an assistant; the SAP consultant is the expert.
  5. ALWAYS CONSIDER AUTHORIZATION IN JOULE INTERACTIONS. Joule executes actions within the user's authorization scope. A user who cannot execute a transaction manually cannot execute it via Joule. Joule does not bypass SAP authorization — but users may not understand this and attempt unauthorized actions expecting Joule to override.
