FAQ

Questions about sap_skills_self_update

What does the sap_skills_self_update tool do? +

Refresh local agent skill files from the latest published @oobe-protocol-labs/sap-mcp-server package. Local-mode only (hosted MCP cannot write to the caller machine). Requires confirm: true. Uses npm pack + tar extraction; no shell interpolation of paths. SAP MCP execution guidance: Intent: agent bootstrap, routing, skills, or repair guidance. Pricing: paid read-premium; estimate first, then use sap_payments_call_paid_tool when the runtime cannot replay x402 natively. Routing: paid hosted call; call sap_estimate_tool_cost first, then use sap_payments_call_paid_tool if the runtime cannot handle x402 natively. Signer boundary: hosted reads/builders never receive keypair bytes; value-moving results must be finalized locally when signing is required. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Sap MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

What parameters does sap_skills_self_update accept? +

sap_skills_self_update accepts 4 parameters: agent, skills, confirm, targetDir. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
