BCD — Bridge Control Delegate

move_path

Destructive

Move or rename files and folders. Creates missing parent folders and never overwrites an existing destination. To move many items (organizing a folder), pass moves: up to 200 {from, to} pairs in one call; each item is reported.

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Beyond the annotations (readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=true, openWorldHint=false), it discloses two non-obvious behaviors: missing parent folders are created automatically, and an existing destination is never overwritten, which materially softens the destructive profile an agent would otherwise assume. It also notes per-item reporting for batch calls. It does not cover partial-failure semantics or permissions.

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?

Three tight sentences: capability first, then behavioral guarantees, then the batch-mode routing hint. No filler and every clause carries actionable information.

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?

With no output schema, the description reasonably covers return behavior by noting each item in a batch call is reported individually, and the annotations cover the safety profile. Remaining gaps are minor: no statement about partial failures, path format expectations, or how the single-item vs batch forms interact.

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 only 40% (deviceId and workSessionId are described in the schema; from/to/moves are not), but the description supplies the key extra meaning for `moves`: a list of {from, to} pairs, cap of 200, used for bulk organizing. The meaning of from/to for the single-item form is left to inference, which is adequate but not enriched.

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 pair ('Move or rename files and folders') and immediately adds batch scope, so the agent knows exactly what domain this acts on. It does not name or contrast sibling operations like copy_path or remove_path, so it falls short of full sibling differentiation.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

It gives a concrete usage pattern and a routing rule: use the single from/to form for one item, and pass `moves` with up to 200 pairs 'to move many items (organizing a folder)'. It stops short of naming alternatives or stating when NOT to use this tool (e.g. copy vs move, delete vs move).

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