move_work_item_from_document

Destructive

Detach a work item from its document to free it for reattachment elsewhere. Verify attachment first to avoid errors.

Instructions

Detach a work item from its document — the ONLY detach path.

NOT idempotent: an already free-floating item fails — confirm attachment first (get_work_item: non-empty space_id). The item is preserved and re-attachable via move_work_item_to_document. Headings are detachable too.

Behavior4/5

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

Beyond annotations, the description explains the failure mode for already detached items, confirms item preservation and re-attachability, and notes that headings are detachable. This adds valuable behavioral context.

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?

Three sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then key behavioral details, no filler. Every sentence is essential.

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?

With a clear purpose, usage conditions, behavioral insights, and an output schema complementing return values, the description fully covers what an agent needs to use this tool correctly.

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%, and the description does not add extra meaning to parameters beyond what the schema already provides. Dry_run is mentioned but not elaborated.

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 tool detaches a work item from its document and declares itself as 'the ONLY detach path,' distinguishing it from sibling tools that handle comments, attachments, or other operations.

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 warns of non-idempotence, advises confirming attachment via get_work_item, and mentions the re-attach alternative move_work_item_to_document, providing clear when-to-use and when-not-to-use guidance.

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