Create Document

create_doc

Create a new document in an AFFiNE workspace with optional content, and link it to a parent document or folder for sidebar organization.

Instructions

Create a new AFFiNE document with optional content. If parentDocId is provided, the new doc is linked into the sidebar tree immediately. If folderId is provided, the doc is placed inside that folder in the sidebar.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
titleNoOptional initial document title.
contentNoOptional initial plain text or markdown-like content.
folderIdNoOptional folder ID to place the doc in. Use list_organize_nodes to find folder IDs.
parentDocIdNoOptional parent doc to link the new doc under in the sidebar.
workspaceIdNoAFFiNE workspace id. Omit only when AFFINE_WORKSPACE_ID is configured.
Behavior4/5

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

Adds context beyond annotations: explains that parentDocId links the doc to the sidebar tree and folderId places it in a folder. Annotations already indicate non-destructive write, so description enriches with specific side effects.

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 sentences, front-loaded with main purpose, then specific conditions. No extraneous 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?

Covers main behavior and key parameter effects. No output schema, so return value not needed. Missing error cases or prerequisites, but adequate for a create tool with simple inputs.

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 coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. Description adds value by explaining the real-world effect of parentDocId and folderId parameters (sidebar linking and folder placement), which is not in schema descriptions.

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?

Clearly states 'create a new AFFiNE document' with optional content, and specifies behavioral details about parentDocId and folderId. Differentiates from sibling tools like create_folder and create_doc_from_markdown.

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?

Implies usage through parameter descriptions, but does not explicitly state when to use this tool versus alternatives like create_doc_from_markdown or append_markdown. No when-not or alternatives provided.

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