set_view_cell_wrap

Idempotent

Toggle wrapping of long cell values in an Airtable view between multi-line wrap and single-line truncation with ellipsis.

Instructions

Toggle whether long cell values wrap (multi-line) or truncate (single-line with ellipsis).

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
appIdYesThe Airtable base/application ID
viewIdYesThe view ID
shouldWrapCellValuesYestrue to wrap, false to truncate
debugNoWhen true, include raw Airtable response in output for diagnostics
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations declare idempotentHint=true, and description clarifies the toggle effect. However, it does not mention that changes persist or if there are performance considerations.

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?

One sentence, front-loaded with the action and resource, no redundant words.

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?

Given the simplicity of a single boolean toggle and no output schema, the description is adequate, though it could mention that it affects all cells in the view.

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%, so baseline 3. Description adds no extra meaning beyond the 'shouldWrapCellValues' boolean, and the 'debug' parameter is not mentioned.

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 uses a specific verb 'Toggle' and clear resource 'long cell values wrap or truncate', distinguishing it from siblings that handle filters, columns, sorts, etc.

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?

The description implies usage for setting wrap behavior but provides no explicit guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives like set_view_columns or update_view_row_height.

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