move_cell

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully convey behavioral traits. It only mentions the prerequisite and the move action, but fails to disclose potential side effects (e.g., whether it is destructive, reversible, or what happens if the cellId is invalid). The description is insufficient for safe invocation.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single concise sentence that front-loads the core action and prerequisite. It avoids unnecessary words, though it could benefit from slightly more structure to separate purpose from requirement.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's moderate complexity (a move operation with a prerequisite), the description covers the essential purpose and a key dependency. However, it lacks details on error handling, behavior with invalid inputs, and coordination with sibling tools like update_cell. An output schema exists but is not shown; the description does not reference it.

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

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

With 0% schema description coverage, the description should compensate by explaining parameter meaning. It mentions 'cellId' and 'target index' but does not clarify the index's base (0-based or 1-based), valid ranges, or relationships between parameters. This leaves ambiguity for correct usage.

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

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

The description clearly states the action ('Move a cell'), the resource ('Colab notebook'), and the key parameters ('by cellId and target index'). It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools like add_code_cell or delete_cell by focusing on repositioning.

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

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

The description explicitly states a critical prerequisite: 'Requires an active browser connection via open_colab_browser_connection.' This guides the agent on necessary prior steps. However, it does not specify when not to use this tool or mention alternatives among siblings.

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