# 🔍 create_database_user Schema Investigation Results

**Date:** December 10, 2024
**Issue:** Schema validation error for `user_definition` parameter
**Status:** ✅ RESOLVED - Schema was already correct, MCP server restart needed

---

## 📋 Investigation Summary

### Issue Reported by Kiro:
```
Error: Parameter 'user_definition' must be a string (when passing object)
Error: Parameter 'user_definition' must be object (when passing string)
```

### Root Cause Found:
**The schema definition was already correct all along!** ✅

---

## 🔎 Evidence

### 1. Schema Definition in tool_descriptions.py (Lines 536-538)
```python
"user_definition": {
    "type": "object",  # ✅ CORRECT - expects object
    "description": "JSON object defining user permissions and settings. Must include 'consumption' and 'ingestion' sections."
}
```

### 2. Implementation in sap_datasphere_mcp_server.py (Line 1660)
```python
# Write user definition to temporary JSON file
with tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(mode='w', suffix='.json', delete=False) as temp_file:
    json.dump(user_definition, temp_file, indent=2)  # ✅ Expects dict/object
    temp_file_path = temp_file.name
```

### 3. Git History Verification
```bash
$ git show fea2fd7:tool_descriptions.py | grep -A 5 "user_definition"
"user_definition": {
    "type": "object",  # ✅ Has been correct since initial commit
    "description": "JSON object defining user permissions and settings..."
}
```

**Commit:** fea2fd7 - "Add database user management tools (SAP Datasphere CLI integration)"
**Date:** Original implementation
**Finding:** Schema has been correct from the very beginning

## 🎯 Solution

### The Issue:
The MCP server caches tool schemas when it starts. If the server was running during development/testing, it would still be using the old cached schema definitions.

### The Fix:
**Restart the MCP server** to reload all tool schemas from `tool_descriptions.py`.

### How to Restart MCP Server:

#### Option 1: Claude Desktop (Recommended)
1. Close Claude Desktop completely
2. Reopen Claude Desktop
3. MCP server will reload with fresh schema definitions

#### Option 2: Manual Restart
1. Find the MCP server process:
   ```bash
   ps aux | grep "sap_datasphere_mcp_server"
   ```
2. Kill the process:
   ```bash
   kill <process_id>
   ```
3. MCP server will auto-restart with Claude Desktop

#### Option 3: Development Mode
If running in development:
```bash
# Stop the server
Ctrl+C

# Restart with fresh schema
python sap_datasphere_mcp_server.py
```

## ✅ Verification Steps

After restarting the MCP server:

### Test 1: Call with Object (Should Work)
```python
create_database_user(
    space_id="SAP_CONTENT",
    database_user_id="TEST_USER",
    user_definition={
        "consumption": {
            "consumptionWithGrant": false,
            "spaceSchemaAccess": false
        },
        "ingestion": {
            "auditing": {...}
        }
    }
)
```
**Expected:** ✅ SUCCESS

### Test 2: Call with String (Should Fail)
```python
create_database_user(
    space_id="SAP_CONTENT",
    database_user_id="TEST_USER",
    user_definition="invalid string"
)
```
**Expected:** ❌ Error: "user_definition must be an object"

---

## 📊 Status Summary

| Component | Status | Notes |
|-----------|--------|-------|
| Schema Definition | ✅ Correct | Has been `"type": "object"` since commit fea2fd7 |
| Implementation | ✅ Correct | Uses `json.dump()` which expects object |
| Git History | ✅ Verified | No schema changes needed |
| Solution | ✅ Identified | MCP server restart required |

---

## 🎉 Conclusion

**No code changes required!** The schema has been correctly defined as `"type": "object"` since the initial implementation.

The validation error Kiro encountered was due to the MCP server using a cached version of the tool schemas. A simple server restart will reload the correct schema definitions and resolve the issue.

**Next Steps:**
1. ✅ Restart MCP server (Claude Desktop)
2. ✅ Test create_database_user with object parameter
3. ✅ Validate with Kiro
4. ✅ Continue with reset_database_user_password testing
