colab_notebook_move_cell

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

No annotations are provided, so the description carries the full behavioral burden. 'Move' implies a mutating reorder, but it does not disclose whether this requires an existing session, what happens with an out-of-range to_index, whether the move is persisted, or any permission needs. For a mutation tool with zero annotation coverage this is a substantial gap.

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?

It is a single short, front-loaded sentence with no filler, which is structurally clean. However, the brevity reflects under-specification rather than disciplined concision.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, but the description still omits any parameter meaning, mutation semantics, or usage context despite a 3-parameter, zero-coverage schema and no annotations. It is not complete enough for reliable invocation.

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?

Schema description coverage is 0% and all three parameters are bare. The sentence vaguely gestures at 'a cell' and 'a new index' but never clarifies whether 'cell' is an ID, name, or index, and never mentions 'path' at all. It fails to compensate for the documentation gap.

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 states a specific verb and resource (move a cell), which is understandable, but it essentially restates the name colab_notebook_move_cell and does not differentiate it from siblings like colab_notebook_add_cell, colab_notebook_edit_cell, or colab_notebook_delete_cell. It is viable but adds no distinguishing detail.

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?

There is no guidance on when to use this versus alternative cell operations, no mention of prerequisites, and no alternatives named. The agent must infer the context entirely.

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