Logs (optional)
No response
Expected behavior
Tool calls should be able to edit the necessary ABAP files.
Actual behavior
I typically run into this issue when requesting copilot make edits in 1 or more files. Example:
It will eventually give up and present the code changes to edit manually:
Due to tool limitations, I'll provide the exact changes needed:
Additional information

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. First reproduce agent-mode edits across multiple ABAP files in Eclipse 2025-09 and capture the tool failures before and after restarting Eclipse. Trace the edit-tool failure from the captured output; done means repeated multi-file ABAP edits complete without falling back to manual changes.
