PR Review: SAP Cloud SDK for Python
Reviews a PR against 25 criteria across 6 sections. Run from the root of the cloud-sdk-python repository.
Phase 1: Identify the PR
Determine REPO and NUMBER from what the user provided:
Use REPO and NUMBER in every subsequent command.
Phase 2: Gather Data
Step 1 — Run all five commands in parallel:
gh pr view <NUMBER> --repo <REPO> --json number,title,body,state,labels,headRefName,baseRefName,author,commits,reviews,reviewRequests,files,additions,deletions
gh pr diff <NUMBER> --repo <REPO>
gh pr checks <NUMBER> --repo <REPO> 2>/dev/null || echo "CI checks not yet available"
gh pr view <NUMBER> --repo <REPO> --comments
gh pr view <NUMBER> --repo <REPO> --json commits --jq '.commits[].messageHeadline'
Step 2 — Fetch each changed file at the PR head ref for accurate line references.
From the files array in Step 1, for each non-binary file run (in parallel):
mkdir -p /tmp/pr<NUMBER>/$(dirname <path>)
gh api "repos/<REPO>/contents/<path>?ref=<headCommitSHA>" \
-H "Accept: application/vnd.github.raw+json" \
> /tmp/pr<NUMBER>/<path>
Use the head commit SHA (not the branch name) as the ref — branch names are ambiguous for forks.
Skip files larger than 500 KB or with binary extensions (.png, .jpg, .whl, .gz, etc.).
This gives you the full file content at the exact PR state, which you will use in Phase 3 for all file:line citations.
Phase 3: Evaluate 23 Criteria
Assign each: ✅ Pass / ⚠️ Warning / ❌ Fail / ➖ N/A
For every file:line reference: use Read /tmp/pr<NUMBER>/<path> on the files fetched in Phase 2. Line numbers in that output are exact. Do not derive line positions from diff hunk offsets — diff arithmetic is unreliable.
If you need to verify a specific rule, read the authoritative source directly:
CONTRIBUTING.md
docs/GUIDELINES.md
docs/DEVELOPMENT.md
.github/pull_request_template.md
.github/workflows/ (exact CI job names)
Section A: Process & Compliance
A1: PR template complete
Template requires: Description, Related Issue, Type of Change (one box ticked), How to Test (numbered steps), checklist of 9 items all ticked. Empty or placeholder body → ❌.
A2: Conventional Commits
Every commit headline must match type(scope): description. Types: feat, fix, chore, docs, refactor, test, ci, perf, style, build, revert. PR title is also validated. Check commit-validation CI job. Quote failing commit titles.
A3: Issue linked
PR body must contain Closes #N, Fixes #N, or Resolves #N.
A4: AI-generated code disclosure
If the diff looks AI-generated, the PR description must explicitly disclose it and reference the SAP AI contribution guideline. Required by CONTRIBUTING.md.
Section B: Security & Sensitive Data
B1: No sensitive data in code
Scan diff for: hardcoded credentials/tokens/API keys, SAP-internal URLs (non-public hostnames or internal tooling URLs that should not be in a public repo), tenant IDs as literals, customer names, environment-specific configs. Any hit → ❌.
B2: No sensitive data in PR body
Check the PR body for the same categories as B1: account-specific URLs containing GUIDs or subaccount identifiers, real tenant IDs, internal email addresses, internal tooling references (e.g., Slack channels, internal issue trackers). The PR template disclaimer applies.
Section C: Code Quality
C1: CI checks passing
| Job name | Meaning |
|---|
Code Quality Checks | ruff lint + ruff format + ty type check |
Unit Tests with Coverage | pytest, coverage ≥ 80% |
Build SDK | uv build produces .whl + .tar.gz |
commit-validation | commitlint on all commits |
Enforce version bump when src/ is modified | version must increase if src/ changed |
Verify generated proto code is up-to-date | only for proto changes |
Analyze (python) | CodeQL security scan |
Any required job ❌ → overall ❌. Pending → ⚠️.
C2: Version bump
If diff touches any src/ file: version in pyproject.toml MUST be incremented (semver). Only docs/, tests/, .github/, .claude/ changed → ➖ N/A.
C3: Type hints
All new/modified public functions, methods, class attributes must have full annotations (params + return type). New modules need py.typed. Missing Optional, Union, or return type on a public method → ⚠️ or ❌.
C4: No hardcoded values
No magic strings (e.g., /etc/secrets/appfnd inline) or magic numbers. Use module-level constants or enum values.
C5: Import organization
Top-level imports preferred (PEP 8). Lazy imports inside functions are a smell without a documented circular-import reason. No requirements-*.txt for deps already in pyproject.toml.
C6: Naming conventions
- Enum values:
SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE = "snake_case_value" (e.g., AGENT_GATEWAY = "agent_gateway")
- Enum members and module-level lists: alphabetical order
- Private methods/attributes/modules: leading underscore
- File names:
snake_case.py
- GitHub workflow files:
.yaml extension, not .yml
C7: No unused code
No unused imports, variables, or dead methods introduced.
C8: No unjustified new dependencies
New runtime dep in pyproject.toml: must be minimal, justified, checked for CVEs. No duplicate requirements-*.txt alongside pyproject.toml.
C9: Proto code freshness
If .proto files under src/sap_cloud_sdk/core/auditlog_ng/proto/ changed: "Verify generated proto code is up-to-date" CI job must pass.
Section D: API & Design
D1: API future-proofing
New config/behavior options should be a *Config dataclass, not individual params. Enums over bare string constants. create_client() factory present; direct constructor warns users to use factory instead.
D2: Public API hygiene
__init__.py and __all__ expose only genuinely public symbols. Internal helpers prefixed _. No unnecessary wrapper classes (wrapping requests.Session 1:1 without adding value).
D3: Breaking changes properly marked
Breaking = removing/renaming a public function/method/param, changing return type, making optional param required. If present and NOT marked with the "Breaking Changes" checkbox + migration section → ❌.
D4: Pagination & tenant filtering consistency
New list/query operations: encapsulate pagination params like existing modules (see destination). Tenant-scoped operations: filter by tenant property for consistency.
D5: Telemetry instrumentation
New client methods: @record_metrics(Module.X, Operation.Y) from core/telemetry. New module: constant added to core/telemetry/module.py and operations to core/telemetry/operation.py. If module is called by other SDK modules: _telemetry_source: Optional[Module] = None param present.
D6: Multi-tenancy support
Multi-tenancy is a cross-cutting concern for most BTP applications. For new service modules, consider the full scope of multi-tenancy — not just token routing, but also provisioning and tenant isolation:
- Provisioning: Does the service require a subscription or onboarding step per tenant? Does the module need to support tenant lifecycle callbacks (subscribe/unsubscribe)?
- Tenant isolation: Is data or configuration isolated per tenant at the service level? Does the module enforce or expose tenant boundaries correctly?
- Auth/routing: Does the module need to route requests to a subscriber tenant context (e.g., XSUAA subdomain replacement, IAS
app_tid, or Destination Service routing)?
- Infrastructure: Is there any infrastructure work required (e.g., new service binding fields, SPII fragments, Subscription Manager integration)?
This is a nice-to-have (⚠️ if absent, not ❌), but must be a conscious decision either way — the user-guide.md must document whether support is present, planned, or intentionally out of scope (see E2a).
Section E: Tests & Documentation
E1: Tests added/updated
Every changed src/ file → corresponding change in tests/. Unit: tests/[module]/unit/test_*.py. Integration (BDD): tests/[module]/integration/*.feature + test_*_bdd.py. Test names: test_<functionality>_<condition>_<expected_result>. New env vars for integration tests documented in .env_integration_tests.
E2: Documentation quality
New modules: user-guide.md with overview, quick start, config examples, API examples, troubleshooting. Changed public APIs: docstrings updated (Google/NumPy style: Args:, Returns:, Raises:). Sub-audience features not mixed into the general user guide.
E2a: Multi-tenancy documentation
Every new or modified user-guide.md must contain a ## Multi-tenancy section with all four fields:
- Supported: Yes / No / Not yet / N/A
- Authentication: XSUAA / IAS / Other / —
- How to use: explanation (or "Not applicable")
- Further reading: link(s) or "—"
If the module exposes XSUAA or IAS authentication, the section must describe the actual mechanism (e.g., access_strategy param, tenant param, token URL replacement). A placeholder or missing section → ⚠️. If the module is a new service module with no section at all → ❌.
E3: Module structure compliance
New modules follow:
src/sap_cloud_sdk/[module]/
├── __init__.py (create_client(), __all__)
├── client.py (or {service}_client.py)
├── config.py (load_from_env_or_mount(), *Config dataclass)
├── exceptions.py (exception hierarchy)
├── _models.py (Pydantic models)
├── py.typed (empty PEP 561 marker)
└── user-guide.md
tests/[module]/unit/
tests/[module]/integration/ (optional, BDD)
