detach_instance

Destructive

Break the link between a component instance and its main component, converting it into a plain frame while preserving its current appearance and making all layers directly editable.

Instructions

Detach a component instance into a plain frame, permanently breaking its link to the main component; the frame keeps its current appearance and its layers become directly editable. To switch an instance to a different component instead of detaching, use swap_component. Returns { ok, nodeId, name, type } for the resulting frame.

Behavior5/5

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

Describes permanent nature (destructive) beyond annotations, and specifies the return format and result behavior. 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?

Two sentences, front-loaded with key action and effect, no superfluous information.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Single parameter, full schema, return format described, alternative tool mentioned. Complete for the tool's complexity.

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 coverage is 100% with a clear param description. The tool description adds no additional parameter details beyond the schema, so baseline 3 is appropriate.

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?

Clearly states the action (detach), resource (component instance), and outcome (permanently breaks link, becomes plain frame, keeps appearance, layers editable). Distinguishes from sibling swap_component.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly tells when to use this tool and when to use the alternative swap_component, providing clear usage context.

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