reorder-objects

Idempotent

Reorder sibling projects or sections in Todoist. Optionally move projects to a new parent project or to the top level.

Instructions

Reorder sibling projects or sections, and optionally move projects to a new parent. For projects: set order to reorder siblings, and/or set parentId to move under a new parent (use "root" for top level). For sections: set order to reorder within a project.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeYesThe type of entity to reorder. "project" reorders sibling projects within the same parent (and can move projects to a new parent). "section" reorders sections within the same project.
itemsYesThe items to reorder or move. Each item must have at least order or parentId. Items with parentId will be moved first, then items with order will be reordered. All items being reordered should be siblings for predictable results.

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
typeYesThe type of entity that was reordered/moved.
successYesWhether the operation was successful.
movedCountYesThe number of entities moved to a new parent.
affectedIdsYesThe IDs of all affected entities.
reorderedCountYesThe number of entities reordered.
Behavior4/5

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

The description adds behavioral context beyond annotations: it explains the order of operations (parentId moves first, then reordering) and that all items should be siblings for predictable results. No contradiction with annotations.

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?

The description is extremely concise with two clear paragraphs. First paragraph gives general purpose, second provides specific instructions for each type. No wasted 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 complexity of two entity types and optional movement, the description covers key aspects: what entities, what actions, order of operations. Edge cases like invalid parentId are not mentioned, but output schema exists, reducing need for return value details.

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% with good descriptions, but the tool description adds value by contextualizing parameter usage: for projects use order and/or parentId, for sections only order, and that parentId can be 'root' for top-level. This enhances understanding.

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 clearly states it reorders sibling projects or sections and optionally moves projects. However, it does not differentiate from the sibling tool 'project-move', which might be a more specific alternative for moving projects without reordering.

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 explains when to use for projects vs sections, but does not provide explicit when-not-to-use guidance or mention alternatives like 'project-move' for move-only operations.

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