tldraw MCP Server

tldraw_reparent_shapes

Reparent multiple shapes by moving them into or out of frames and groups. Set the target parent ID to nest or un-nest shapes within the diagram's hierarchy.

Instructions

Move shapes into or out of frames/groups. Set newParentId to a frame/group ID to nest, or to a page ID to un-nest.

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries the burden. It explains the core behavior (nest/un-nest via newParentId) but omits side effects or error states.

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?

Two concise sentences, front-loaded with action, 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?

Adequate given simple tool, but could mention edge cases or validation behavior for missing parents.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema covers both parameters with descriptions. The description adds value by clarifying how newParentId is used (frame/group for nesting, page for un-nesting).

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool reparents shapes into or out of frames/groups, with specific actions (nest/un-nest). It distinguishes from positional moves and grouping.

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?

Implies usage for nesting/un-nesting shapes, but doesn't explicitly contrast with sibling tools like tldraw_move_shapes or tldraw_group_shapes.

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