## 📋 Polish Plan - 4 Focus Areas

### 🎨 AREA 1: Documentation Enhancement (Priority: HIGH)

#### 1.1 User Guides by Category

**Goal**: Help users understand what each tool does and how to use it

**Tasks**:
- [ ] Create `TOOLS_CATALOG.md` - Visual catalog with examples for all 41 tools
- [ ] Create `GETTING_STARTED_GUIDE.md` - Step-by-step for new users
- [ ] Create `ETL_WORKFLOWS.md` - Real-world ETL use cases
- [ ] Create `DATA_DISCOVERY_GUIDE.md` - How to explore data
- [ ] Create `TROUBLESHOOTING.md` - Common issues and solutions

**Example Content** (TOOLS_CATALOG.md):
```markdown
# Complete Tools Catalog

## 🔐 Foundation Tools (5 tools)

### test_connection
**What it does**: Tests OAuth connection to SAP Datasphere
**When to use**: Before starting any work, verify authentication works
**Example query**: "Test my connection to SAP Datasphere"
**Real data**: ✅ Returns actual tenant health status
**Response time**: < 1 second

### get_current_user
**What it does**: Shows authenticated user information from JWT token
**When to use**: Verify which user is authenticated, check permissions
**Example query**: "Who am I? Show my user information"
**Real data**: ✅ Returns real OAuth JWT claims
**Response time**: Instant (token parsing)
```

---

#### 1.2 API Documentation

**Goal**: Professional API docs for developers

**Tasks**:
- [ ] Create `API_REFERENCE.md` - Complete API documentation
- [ ] Document all 41 tool inputs/outputs
- [ ] Add code examples in Python
- [ ] Add cURL examples for testing
- [ ] Document error codes and handling

**Example Content** (API_REFERENCE.md):
```markdown
## list_catalog_assets

### Description
List all assets in the SAP Datasphere catalog with filtering and pagination.

### Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| space_id | string | No | null | Filter by space |
| asset_type | string | No | null | Filter by type (table/view) |
| top | integer | No | 50 | Max results (1-1000) |

### Response
```json
{
  "assets": [...],
  "total_count": 36,
  "has_more": false
}
```

### Example Usage (Python)
```python
# List all assets
result = await mcp_client.call_tool("list_catalog_assets", {})

# List tables in SAP_CONTENT
result = await mcp_client.call_tool("list_catalog_assets", {
    "space_id": "SAP_CONTENT",
    "asset_type": "table"
})
```

---

### ⚡ AREA 2: Performance Optimization (Priority: MEDIUM)

#### 2.1 Result Caching

**Goal**: Reduce redundant API calls for frequently accessed data

**Tasks**:
- [ ] Implement in-memory cache for metadata (spaces, catalog)
- [ ] Add cache TTL (time-to-live) configuration
- [ ] Cache invalidation on data changes
- [ ] Cache hit/miss metrics

**Example Implementation**:
```python
from functools import lru_cache
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

class MetadataCache:
    def __init__(self, ttl_seconds=300):  # 5 minute TTL
        self.cache = {}
        self.ttl = ttl_seconds

    def get(self, key):
        if key in self.cache:
            data, timestamp = self.cache[key]
            if datetime.now() - timestamp < timedelta(seconds=self.ttl):
                return data
        return None

    def set(self, key, value):
        self.cache[key] = (value, datetime.now())
```

**Expected Improvement**:
- 50-80% reduction in API calls for repeated queries
- Faster response times for cached data
- Reduced load on SAP Datasphere tenant

**Tasks**:
- [ ] Create `batch_list_assets` tool (multiple spaces at once)
- [ ] Create `batch_get_schemas` tool (multiple tables at once)
- [ ] Add batch mode to ETL tools
- [ ] Document batch operation patterns

**Expected Improvement**:
- 5-10x faster for bulk operations
- Reduced network overhead
- Better ETL performance

# Production Deployment Guide

## Option 1: Docker Deployment

### Prerequisites
- Docker 20.10+
- SAP Datasphere OAuth credentials

### Steps
1. Pull the image:
   ```bash
   docker pull your-org/sap-datasphere-mcp:latest
   ```

2. Create `.env` file:
   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your credentials
   ```

3. Run container:
   ```bash
   docker run -d \
     --name sap-mcp \
     -p 8080:8080 \
     --env-file .env \
     --restart unless-stopped \
     sap-datasphere-mcp:latest
   ```

4. Verify:
   ```bash
   curl http://localhost:8080/health
   ```

## Option 2: Kubernetes Deployment

See `k8s/` directory for manifests.
```

### ✅ AREA 4: Quality Assurance (Priority: MEDIUM)

#### 4.1 Enhanced Error Messages

**Goal**: Make error messages more helpful

**Tasks**:
- [ ] Review all error messages
- [ ] Add troubleshooting hints to common errors
- [ ] Add links to documentation
- [ ] Add error code taxonomy
- [ ] Test error handling for edge cases

**Example Enhancement**:

**Before**:
```
Error: HTTP 403 Forbidden
```

**After**:
```
Error: Access Denied (HTTP 403)

This usually means one of:
1. Your OAuth token doesn't have the required scope
   → Check that DWC_DATA_ACCESS scope is included

2. Your user doesn't have permission to access this space
   → Ask your SAP Datasphere admin to grant access

3. The resource requires admin privileges
   → This operation is restricted to admin users

Need help? See: https://docs.example.com/troubleshooting#403
```

- [ ] Test common workflows end-to-end
- [ ] Add CI/CD for automated testing
- [ ] Document how to run tests

**Example Test** (tests/test_data_discovery.py):
```python
import pytest
from sap_datasphere_mcp import MCPClient

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_data_discovery_workflow():
    """Test complete data discovery workflow"""
    client = MCPClient()

    # 1. List spaces
    spaces = await client.call_tool("list_spaces")
    assert len(spaces) > 0

    # 2. Get space info
    space = await client.call_tool("get_space_info", {
        "space_id": spaces[0]["id"]
    })
    assert space["id"] == spaces[0]["id"]

    # 3. Search tables
    tables = await client.call_tool("search_tables", {
        "space_id": space["id"],
        "keyword": "sales"
    })
    assert len(tables) >= 0  # May have 0 if no sales tables

    # 4. Get schema if tables exist
    if len(tables) > 0:
        schema = await client.call_tool("get_table_schema", {
            "space_id": space["id"],
            "table_name": tables[0]["name"]
        })
        assert "columns" in schema
```

#### 4.3 Logging Enhancement

**Goal**: Better observability for production

**Tasks**:
- [ ] Add structured logging (JSON format)
- [ ] Add request/response logging (sanitized)
- [ ] Add performance metrics logging
- [ ] Add error tracking integration (Sentry?)
- [ ] Document logging configuration

**Example Enhancement**:
```python
import logging
import json
from datetime import datetime

class StructuredLogger:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.logger = logging.getLogger(name)

    def log_api_call(self, tool, params, duration, success):
        log_data = {
            "timestamp": datetime.now().isoformat(),
            "event": "api_call",
            "tool": tool,
            "duration_ms": round(duration * 1000, 2),
            "success": success,
            "param_count": len(params)
        }
        self.logger.info(json.dumps(log_data))

# Usage
logger = StructuredLogger("sap-mcp")
logger.log_api_call("list_spaces", {}, 0.234, True)
# Output: {"timestamp": "2025-12-12T10:30:00", "event": "api_call", "tool": "list_spaces", ...}
```
