move_device_right

Move a device to the right in the device chain by providing track and device indices.

Instructions

Move a device one position to the right in the device chain.

Parameters:

  • track_index: The index of the track containing the device

  • device_index: The index of the device to move

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, placing full burden on description. It only states the operation without disclosing side effects, prerequisites, or behavior at boundaries (e.g., rightmost device).

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 short sentences plus one-line parameter descriptions. No unnecessary words, front-loaded with purpose, every sentence earns its place.

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?

For a simple mutation tool with 2 param, no annotations, no output schema, the description covers the core action and parameters but omits error conditions, return value, and edge cases.

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 has 0% description coverage. The description adds brief explanations for both parameters, which are clear but lack details like index starting point or range. Adequate but basic.

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 verb 'Move', the resource 'a device', the direction 'one position to the right', and context 'in the device chain'. This distinguishes it from sibling tool move_device_left.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

Usage is implied: use to reorder a device right. However, no explicit when-not-to-use or alternative guidance is given, though sibling move_device_left is the opposite.

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