### debuggerListen never receives hit for report breakpoint (SE38 / Eclipse embedded GUI) — ends with ICM ICMETIMEOUT

Dear Mario
     I am testing the debuggerSetBreakpoints and debuggerListen functionality. Setting a line breakpoint via ADT (debuggerSetBreakpoints) succeeds, but when the report is executed from SAP GUI (SE38) or the Eclipse embedded GUI, debuggerListen never returns a debuggee. The long-polling eventually fails with HTTP 500 / ICM ICMETIMEOUT. External breakpoints set via the GUI for the same user/program/line do stop correctly, so backend external debugging itself appears to be enabled. I'm n

### setObjectSource across separate MCP tool calls fails with HTTP 423 Invalid Lock Handle

When following the documented write workflow (`lock` → `setObjectSource` as separate MCP tool calls), `setObjectSource` fails with:

```text
HTTP 423 Locked
ExceptionResourceInvalidLockHandle
```

This happens even though `lock` just returned a `lockHandle`, and SM12 shows no leftover locks. Read-only tools (`getObjectSource`, `searchObject`, `syntaxCheckCode`, etc.) work fine.

### searchObject/getObjectSource weren't available

Agent :  The MCP tools login/searchObject/getObjectSource weren't available as Copilot tools (VS Code only loaded a subset), so I used the abap-adt-api library directly via Node.js. The connection to your SAP system at xxxx.com:44300 works correctly.

 do you know why  the mcp server is not working .  Copilot has find a wprk around !  
original prompt :   Login to SAP, then search for ZWXXX  and retrieve its source code"

### SyntaxError in JSON

Hi! 
I get the following errors when using your MCP server:

I have no clue what JSON will be accessed... :(
There is no hint to the JSON file:

### GetTable GetStructure exists？

Hi, Thank you for your great work on this project.

do the MCP tools GetTable and GetStructure actually exist? I tried using them but couldn’t get them to work.
Blow is the readme file text：

*   **`GetTable`:** Use this tool to retrieve the structure of an ABAP Dictionary table, including its field names and data types. This is helpful for verifying the correct fields to use in your `SELECT` statements.
*    If you need to inspect an include structure, you may need to use `searchObject` to find

### getObjectSource truncates the source code

When I call to mcp-abap-abap-adt-api / getObjectSource with a program or function module that has extensive source code, I don't receive the full response, I get the source code truncated.

Is there an option or a way to always receive the complete source code?

Is it an issue with ADT or with the MCP API?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Dani
