Move a file to a folder

move_file
Idempotent

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
folderYesDestination folder path, e.g. 'Clients/Dupont', or '' for the top level.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare this is a non-destructive, idempotent write, and the description adds genuinely new behavior: the Pro plan gate, automatic creation of missing folders, and the fact that the public link is preserved. The public-link guarantee is exactly the kind of side-effect disclosure an agent can't get from structured fields. It stops short of describing failure modes or what happens when a same-named file exists at the destination.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single sentence plus a clause conveys the action, the precondition, the auto-creation side effect, the top-level alternative, and the stable-URL guarantee. It is front-loaded with the core action and contains no filler.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a two-parameter, non-destructive, idempotent tool with full schema coverage and no output schema, the description covers plan requirements, folder auto-creation, and a notable side effect. Only edge-case behavior (collisions in the destination, errors for unknown file_id) is absent, which is a modest gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% and both parameters are already documented, including the '' top-level convention and where file_id comes from. The description restates the empty-string case without adding syntax, path constraints, or format detail beyond the schema, so the baseline 3 applies.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description opens with a specific verb+resource ('Moves a file into a folder') and covers both destination modes, so an agent can immediately tell this is a relocation operation rather than a rename or copy. It never names a sibling tool, but the verb+resource pairing is distinct enough from rename_file or upload_file that confusion is unlikely.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It supplies a real prerequisite ('Pro plan') and clarifies the empty-string case for returning a file to the top level, which is useful context for choosing this call. However, there is no explicit guidance on when to prefer this over rename_file, replace_file, or create_folder, and no statement about what happens when the file is already in the target folder.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
