Move Note Or Folder

notes.move
DestructiveIdempotent

Move a note or folder to a new path in the Obsidian vault, automatically rewriting wiki and markdown links to reflect the new location. Works with individual files or entire folders.

Instructions

Move a note or folder to a new path. kind:'note' moves a single .md file; kind:'folder' moves a directory and every note beneath it. When updateLinks:true (the default), wiki and markdown links elsewhere in the vault that reference the moved path are rewritten to point at the new location. Destructive — overwrites or replaces existing content at the destination. Fails when the source does not exist.

Operates on the session-active vault (see vault.current — selectable via vault.select) unless an explicit vaultPath argument is passed, which always wins.

Behavior4/5

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

The description adds behavioral details beyond annotations, such as link rewriting behavior, destructive overwrite, and failure conditions. It does not contradict annotations, but idempotency is questionable.

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 concise with three sentences, each adding essential information. It front-loads the main action and avoids unnecessary words.

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 covers the main behaviors, but lacks details on path format and does not clarify idempotency. It is adequate given the output schema exists.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Despite the input schema having no parameters, the description effectively documents parameters like kind, updateLinks, and vaultPath, compensating for the blank schema and providing meaning beyond it.

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') and resource ('note or folder'), and specifies two kinds ('note' and 'folder'). It distinguishes from sibling tools like notes.create and notes.delete by describing a move operation.

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?

The description provides context on when the tool is applicable (e.g., moving a note or folder) and mentions failure conditions and vault context, but does not explicitly state when not to use it or compare to alternatives.

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