unfile_document

Remove a document from a folder in the content repository by providing folder and document identifiers.

Instructions

Unfile a document from a folder in the content repository. This tool interfaces with the GraphQL API to unfile document from folder with the provided ids.

:param folder_id_or_path string Yes The unique identifier or path for the folder. If not provided, an error will be returned. :param document_id string Yes The unique identifier for the document. If not provided, an error will be returned.

:returns: If successful, return the folder id. Else, return a ToolError instance that describes the error.

Behavior2/5

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

Without annotations, the description carries the burden. It states the return value (folder id or error) but does not disclose behavioral traits such as whether the operation is reversible, permissions required, or side effects on the document. 'Unfile' implies removal from folder but no explicit safety information.

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 structured but verbose, including a Python-style docstring with parameter and return documentation. The first sentence is concise, but the param and return sections could be streamlined. It's adequate but not optimized.

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?

Given the tool's simplicity and the existence of an output schema, the description provides basic functional context. However, it lacks information about the tool's role in the content repository workflow, such as when to unfile vs. delete, or how it interacts with check-in/check-out states.

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?

Schema coverage is 0%, so parameter descriptions are the only source. The description adds minimal meaning: folder_id_or_path can be ID or path, document_id is just ID. This is slightly more than the schema types but lacks detail on format or constraints.

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

Purpose4/5

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

The description clearly states the action: 'Unfile a document from a folder'. It identifies the resource and verb. However, it does not differentiate from siblings like 'file_document' or 'checkin_document', though the inverse nature provides some distinction.

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 guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It mentions required parameters and error if omitted, but no context about prerequisites, when not to use, or relationships to other tools like 'file_document'.

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