Manage Pages

grist_manage_pages
Destructive

Manage page layouts in Grist documents by creating pages, setting column/row splits, and linking widgets via section IDs.

Instructions

Declarative page layouts with cols/rows splits. create_page returns sectionIds; use link_widgets to connect. Actions: create_page, set_layout, link_wi

Use grist_help({tools:["grist_manage_pages"]}) for full schema.

Behavior3/5

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

Adds some behavioral info beyond annotations (e.g., create_page returns sectionIds, use link_widgets to connect). Annotations already indicate destructive hint, but description does not elaborate on destructive behavior. Some added value but limited.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is short and to the point but incomplete and cut off. It could be more structured and informative while remaining concise.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Tool has 3 parameters, 2 required, no output schema. Description is truncated and does not cover return values or full usage context. Refers to grist_help for full schema, indicating incompleteness.

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

Parameters2/5

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

With 0% schema coverage, description must compensate heavily. It mentions operations like create_page, set_layout, link_wi, but does not describe docId or response_format. Partial meaning for operations only.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description mentions 'Declarative page layouts' and lists actions like create_page, but it is incomplete and does not clearly differentiate from sibling tools. The purpose is somewhat clear but not fully articulated.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description hints at using grist_help for full schema but does not provide context for selection.

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