Provides
Agent access to your systemsCAPBTPABAPAgent access to your systemsGiving an AI agent access to the business data, configuration or operations of systems you run through an MCP server. [Serving your application over MCP](capability:mcp-servers) exposes your own service contract; system access reaches the systems behind it, and one implementation may do both. Development assistance belongs to [agent access to your code](capability:agent-code-access).Native SAP HANA artifactsCAPNative SAP HANA artifactsUsing native SAP HANA database objects alongside an application’s generated data model, including objects and database features the modelling layer cannot express. Choosing a database is [database connectors](capability:database-connectors); changing an existing schema is [schema evolution](capability:schema-evolution).
Demonstrates
Agent guidanceCAPUI5BTPABAPAgent guidancePackaged knowledge you hand a coding agent so it gets a framework right unprompted — skills, rule files, instruction packs. Distinct from agent tooling, which is about building agentic features into your application, and from [agent access to your code](capability:agent-code-access), where the agent reads the real project instead of being handed a file about it.Agent toolingCAPBTPAgent toolingBuilding an agent into your own application — the tools it may call, the state it keeps between turns, and the framework it runs in. Distinct from MCP servers, which expose an application to somebody else's agent, and from agent guidance, which is knowledge handed to a coding agent.Audit loggingCAPBTPAudit loggingRecording who touched personal or sensitive data, in a form an auditor accepts, without hand-writing it in every handler. It is often confused with application logging, which records what the code did rather than who accessed what.AuthorizationCAPBTPABAPAuthorizationDeciding who may read or change what, at service, entity and instance level — role checks, forwarded user context, and restrictions evaluated as query filters rather than after the fact.Content filteringCAPBTPContent filteringChecking what goes into a model and what comes out of it against content rules, and stopping or flagging a request that fails them. Distinct from [data masking](capability:data-masking), which hides values: a filter refuses content.Data federationCAPBTPData federationReading data that lives in another system as if it were local — by federating the query, by copying the rows, or by caching what was read. Three different answers to one question, and the choice is about how stale you can afford to be.Data maskingCAPBTPData maskingReplacing the personal or confidential values in a prompt with placeholders before it leaves for a model, and putting them back in the answer. Anonymisation, where the values are gone for good, and pseudonymisation, where they return, are the two forms; which fields count as sensitive is the application's question, not the module's.Data modellingCAPABAPData modellingDefining the shape of data before anything serves it: entities and their types, how they relate, and the projections and views that services and applications consume.Database connectorsCAPBTPABAPDatabase connectorsConnecting an application’s data model and queries to a database, including the differences in supported queries, types and schema management between database implementations. Changing an existing schema belongs to [schema evolution](capability:schema-evolution).DeploymentCAPBTPDeploymentGetting an application onto a runtime and keeping it there: build descriptors, deployment topology, service bindings and lifecycle operations. The target runtime determines how the application is packaged and configured.DestinationsCAPBTPUI5DestinationsReaching a system that is not yours — an S/4HANA tenant, an on-premise service, a third-party API — without the address, the credentials or the tunnel being written into the application. The destination is the indirection, and the reason an endpoint can move without a redeploy.Document extractionCAPBTPUI5Document extractionGetting structured data out of a document somebody sent you — an invoice, a purchase order, a scanned form — instead of having a person key it in. The mirror image of document output, and a different problem from reading a service: the input is a file, the shape is unknown until something reads it, and the answer arrives with a confidence rather than a guarantee.Draft handlingCAPDraft handlingLetting a user edit a record over several requests before it becomes real — saving unfinished changes, locking, and activating a completed draft.Event MeshCAPBTPABAPEvent MeshEmitting and consuming business events across systems through brokers, including subscriptions and mapping application events to broker topics. Work that must survive a request, including deferred processing and retries, belongs to [async processing](capability:async-processing).Fiori annotationsCAPUI5ABAPFiori annotationsDescribing a service so a Fiori client can render it without hand-written UI code — titles, value helps, hierarchies and visibility expressed as model annotations rather than screen logic.LLM integrationCAPUI5BTPABAPLLM integrationCalling a language model from application code with the tenant, destination and credential handling already solved instead using an SDK call with a hand-rolled key.Local developmentCAPABAPLocal developmentRunning the whole stack on a laptop against real bindings — the service, the UI and the routing in front of it — without deploying to see a change.MultitenancyCAPBTPMultitenancyServing many tenants from one deployment — onboarding, tenant-isolated data, per-tenant schema deployment and the operational tooling around it. It is decided once, before anything is built, and narrows the artifacts in almost every capability downstream: most sharply in [caching](capability:caching) and anything else holding state in process.ODataCAPABAPODataExposing data and operations through OData, including the service model, metadata and protocol versions clients require. Version differences affect which clients can consume a service and which query features they can use.Platform migrationCAPBTPPlatform migrationMoving an application, integration or database from one platform to another: assessing what exists, converting what tooling supports, and adapting what cannot carry over. Language-level compatibility is a separate concern from moving the platform around an application.Plugin authoringCAPPlugin authoringWriting a package that extends a framework or runtime rather than an application that uses it — a reusable extension loaded by its host, and the question you arrive at once solving a problem twice makes you want to solve it once for everyone.Prompt managementCAPBTPPrompt managementKeeping the prompts an application sends to a model as templates with placeholders, stored and versioned apart from the code that calls them, so a change of wording is not a deployment. What people conflate under it: the template filled at runtime, the registry it lives in, and the orchestration step that fills it.Reference appsCAPABAPReference appsA whole application to read rather than a snippet to copy — somewhere to see how the pieces sit together once there are more than three of them.Retrieval-augmented generationCAPABAPBTPRetrieval-augmented generationGrounding a model's answer in data retrieved at question time: text split into chunks, each chunk embedded as a vector, and the chunks nearest to the question placed into the prompt. Semantic search is the same retrieval with a person reading the matches, and fine-tuning changes the model's weights, not its input.Tenant extensibilityCAPTenant extensibilityLetting a customer extend the model of a running SaaS application with extra fields and entities per tenant, without forking the application, as distinct from extending the application's code for every customer at once.TestingCAPBTPSAP Digital ManufacturingTestingProving the service still does what it did — against the model and the handlers, without a deployed system and without a database somebody has to keep clean.

Details
History
- SAP-samples/hana-developer-cli-tool-exampleThe entry sat only under Agent access to your code, which reads a project; its MCP server reaches a HANA database, which is Agent access to your systems. The README's own words put its CDS conversion and HDI container management beside a CAP model, so it serves the CAP door and counts on Native SAP HANA artifacts there. A developer CLI for a database belongs to Data & Persistence, not AI & Agents. Re-evaluated from the Claude plugin's arrival on 2026-10-24.
- SAP-samples/hana-developer-cli-tool-exampleIts performance analysis, privilege grants and backup and recovery commands had no capability to sit under; Database administration was added for them the same day.
- SAP-samples/partner-reference-applicationThe description named the ERP systems the application integrates with, and the graph had nothing to point at. SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition is now an external of kind sap-solution, and the tutorial's sentence about its OData services is the edge.
- SAP-samples/cap-agentic-engineeredEntered from the sap-ai-mcp-servers catalogue, which is credited as the source; written from the repository's own README rather than from the catalogue's line about it. Hard rule 7: skills are indexed, never authored here. The catalogue files it under skills; its own README calls it a reference application showing what grounding does, so it is typed sample and demonstrates rather than provides. VISION §5: evidence is never an option you depend on.
