What sap-hana-cli does

The skill maps out SAP HANA Developer CLI (hana-cli), a command-line tool for HANA database development and administration. Your agent learns the command surface: inspecting tables, views, procedures and functions, running SQL, managing HDI containers, handling SAP HANA Cloud instances, and working with BTP CLI integration. The description covers 91 commands and more than 17 output formats.

There is an MCP section too. The bundled config pins [email protected], and connection details come from environment variables such as HANA_HOST, HANA_PORT, HANA_USER and HANA_PASSWORD. That server gets access to a HANA tenant, so the author advises running the sap-dependency-security skill before you change the pin. hana-cli itself needs Node.js 20.19.0 or newer.

The skill points at neighbours: sap-cap-capire for CAP and HDI work, sap-btp-cloud-platform for cloud instances, sap-abap-cds for CDS syntax comparisons. No HANA database and no plans for one? Then there is nothing here for you.

What it helps with

  • inspect a table's columns and data types
  • run a SQL query against a HANA database
  • create or drop an HDI container
  • export table metadata to CDS format
  • connect to a HANA Cloud instance via service key

Example prompts for the agent

  • Show me all tables in the MY_APP schema
  • Describe the structure of the ORDERS table
  • Run hana-cli inspectTable -t INVENTORY -s PRODUCTS -o cds
