cell_move

Move a Jupyter notebook cell to a new zero-indexed position to reorder cells.

Instructions

Move a cell to a new position in the notebook. new_position is 0-indexed. Use notebook_get to see current positions.

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already indicate non-readonly, so the description's mention of 'move' is expected. It adds the 0-indexed detail and a hint about notebook_get, but does not disclose side effects or boundary conditions.

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 with key information front-loaded, no unnecessary words.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Basic information is present, but missing details like error handling (out-of-range positions), behavior for same position, and validation of name/cell_id, which would improve completeness given the lack of output schema.

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?

With 0% schema coverage, the description partially compensates by explaining new_position's 0-indexed nature, but does not clarify the role of name or cell_id beyond their names.

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 explicitly states the action (move), the resource (cell), and the target context (notebook), clearly distinguishing it from siblings like cell_add or cell_delete.

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?

Provides specific guidance: new_position is 0-indexed and suggests using notebook_get to see current positions, though it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or mention alternatives beyond notebook_get.

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