Reported issues for mcp-sap-gui

Pod holds 10 of 10 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user.

Add confirmation middleware using fastmcp elicitation

Add centralized middleware using fastmcp ctx.elicit() for two scenarios:

  1. Destructive confirmation — before executing tools tagged destructive, prompt the user to confirm (e.g. "This will post 500 units to storage location 0001. Proceed?")

  2. Guidance/disambiguation — when the agent encounters ambiguous situations, use elicitation to ask the user for clarification (e.g. "Found 3 matching materials. Which one?" or "This screen has two save buttons — which workflow?")

Approach: cent

Add focused search-help workflow tools

Add explicit search-help workflow support for the common F4/value-help path.

Why:

  • Search help is a very common multi-step SAP pattern.
  • It is too variable for a single mega-tool, but too repetitive to leave entirely manual.

Scope:

  • Add sap_search_help_open(field_id).
  • Add sap_search_help_select(...) for result selection and confirmation.
  • Return the popup/screen context needed for the next step.
  • Verify that the selected value lands back in the original field.

Acceptance criteria:

Expand automated test coverage for v0.2 architecture and workflows

Add the missing automated coverage needed to make the v0.2 architecture changes safe to evolve.

Why:

  • The roadmap now includes session routing, policy evaluation, popup/search-help workflows, and transport changes.
  • These areas need stronger regression coverage before multiple contributors start changing behavior in parallel.

Scope:

  • Add tests for per-session routing and detach/owned-session cleanup.
  • Add tests for policy decisions by tool class, transaction, and system override.
  • Add w

Enhance sap_set_batch_fields with validation mode

Make sap_set_batch_fields better for real forms instead of adding a separate form-fill mega-tool.

Why:

  • Batch field setting already exists.
  • The missing capability is validation feedback and better handling of readonly fields.

Scope:

  • Add validate mode to trigger Enter/validation after field entry.
  • Add skip_readonly behavior with warnings.
  • Return status-bar information and per-field validation failures/highlights.
  • Keep the tool composable and predictable.

Acceptance criteria:

Add sap_handle_popup workflow tool

Add a focused popup workflow tool instead of forcing agents to manually inspect and react to modal dialogs every time.

Why:

  • Popups are one of the biggest current failure points.
  • The existing discovery tooling can already read popup content; the missing piece is a guided action surface.

Scope:

  • Add a tool with operation modes such as read, confirm, cancel, and auto.
  • Classify popup type (confirmation, error, info, input-required) when possible.
  • Match buttons by visible text/tool

Add MCP prompts for core SAP workflows

Use MCP prompts to guide agents through the highest-friction SAP workflows without exploding tool count.

Why:

  • Prompts are the cheapest way to improve agent behavior.
  • This server already has enough primitives; guidance is the missing layer.

Scope:

  • Add prompts for F4/search help.
  • Add prompts for table pagination.
  • Add prompts for SPRO/customizing tree navigation.
  • Add prompts for multi-field form fill and validation.
  • Update docs so clients know these prompts exist.

Add structured audit logging for mutating actions

Add structured audit logging for all write/destructive operations.

Why:

  • Enterprise trust depends on being able to reconstruct what an agent tried to do.
  • Security hardening is not enough without observability.

Scope:

  • Emit structured events for mutating actions.
  • Include tool name, target system/client, session identity, action target, result, and timing.
  • Redact secrets and sensitive field values.
  • Make log destination/configuration explicit.

Acceptance criteria:

  • All mutating tools

Add YAML policy engine and migrate current transaction rules

Replace the current hardcoded blocklist/allowlist checks with a YAML-backed policy model.

Why:

  • The current security controls are too limited for real SAP environments.
  • We already classify tools as read/write/destructive.
  • Policy-driven behavior is a major v0.2 goal.

Scope:

  • Define a YAML policy format for defaults, roles, rules, and system overrides.
  • Map existing tool annotations to policy classes.
  • Preserve current blocked-transaction behavior as the default baseline.
  • Support rea

Add streamable HTTP transport for controlled local/team use

Add opt-in streamable-http transport while keeping stdio as the default local mode.

Why:

  • Team and remote-client usage needs HTTP transport.
  • SSE is legacy; streamable-http is the transport to target.
  • This should build on the session-manager work, not bypass it.

Scope:

  • Add CLI/config support for transport selection.
  • Support stdio and streamable-http.
  • Keep HTTP stateful for now.
  • Default bind to localhost only.
  • Document the transport mode clearly in README/client setup do

Refactor server state around a SessionManager

Replace the current module-level global controller/config pattern with explicit server state and per-client session tracking.

Why:

  • streamable-http is not safe with the current shared globals.
  • SAP GUI COM is stateful; tool calls from the same MCP session must route to the same SAP session binding.
  • This is the architectural prerequisite for the rest of v0.2.

Scope:

  • Introduce a SessionManager / managed-session layer.
  • Keep stdio behavior backward compatible.
  • Track ownership (`o
