move_document

Destructive

Move a document to a different collection or parent document, automatically relocating all nested child documents to maintain hierarchy.

Instructions

Relocates a document to a different collection or parent document.

IMPORTANT: When moving a document that has child documents (nested documents), all child documents will move along with it, maintaining their hierarchical structure. You must specify either collection_id or parent_document_id (or both).

Use this tool when you need to:

  • Reorganize your document hierarchy

  • Move a document to a more relevant collection

  • Change a document's parent document

  • Restructure content organization

Args: document_id: The document ID to move collection_id: Target collection ID (if moving between collections) parent_document_id: Optional parent document ID (for nesting)

Returns: Result message confirming the move operation

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations indicate destructiveHint=true, and description adds that moving a document with children moves them all, which is critical behavior. No contradictions.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Well-structured with sections and bullet points. Front-loaded with purpose. The Args section slightly redundant with schema but acceptable.

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?

Covers key behavior (child documents) and basic return value. Given annotations and output schema (existence noted), the description is adequate.

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?

Schema coverage is 0%, but description explains each parameter's role and the constraint that at least one of collection_id or parent_document_id must be provided.

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 relocates a document to a different collection or parent document. It uses specific verbs and distinguishes from siblings like batch_move_documents.

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?

Provides explicit use cases (reorganize hierarchy, move to collection, change parent) and includes an IMPORTANT note about child documents. Lacks explicit 'when not to use' but context is clear.

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