What this skill does
Assesses whether an SAP API/interface usage scenario appears aligned with the SAP API Policy v.4.2026a (and its FAQ v1.2, May 2026). It gathers evidence from official SAP sources and the user's own facts, then produces a conservative, sourced, confidence-rated technical assessment — explicitly not legal, contractual, or final SAP compliance advice. Every report carries a disclaimer at top and bottom and routes legal/commercial/roadmap questions to the right SAP channel.
Output is one of four categories — Likely aligned, Likely not aligned, Needs SAP confirmation,
Not assessable from provided facts — plus a high/medium/low confidence label, an evidence
ledger, residual risk, and concrete questions to raise with SAP.
When it triggers
Whenever someone asks whether a way of calling SAP is allowed/compliant, e.g.:
- Published API vs internal/private/"confidential" API status; "Documented Use"
- Third-party tool / iPaaS / middleware / RPA bot / AI agent / MCP server calling SAP APIs
- Agentic or generative-AI access to SAP; bulk extraction / replication into a lake/warehouse
- Custom Z/Y OData or RFC/BAPI wrappers and Clean Core; ADT / developer-tooling boundaries
- ODP-RFC and other "not permitted" interfaces; partner Integration Certification; RISE remediation
- Plus implicit phrasings: "are we allowed to…", "is it compliant to…", "can we connect X to SAP…"
