Move Entity

entity_move

Reposition AutoCAD entities by specifying displacement values along x, y, and z axes.

Instructions

Behavior3/5

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

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false (write operation) and destructiveHint=false (not destructive). The description adds that it moves by displacement, but does not elaborate on permanence, undoability, or potential side effects. It provides minimal additional behavioral context beyond what annotations already offer.

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 a single, concise sentence that efficiently states the core purpose without extraneous words. It is front-loaded with the verb and resource.

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?

The description, combined with the input schema (100% coverage) and output schema (present), provides sufficient information for an agent to use the tool. It could mention that the move is relative and that the entity handle must be valid, but overall it is fairly complete for a straightforward transformation tool.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the description does not need to repeat parameter info. It only briefly mentions displacement vector, which is already in the schema. No new semantic value added beyond what the schema provides, warranting a baseline score of 3.

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 clearly states the action 'move', the resource 'entity', and the method by displacement vector (dx, dy, dz). It effectively differentiates from sibling tools like entity_copy, entity_rotate, etc., which perform different transformations.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool vs alternatives (e.g., for absolute positioning, using a different tool or calculating displacement). No prerequisites or context for usage are mentioned.

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