batch_move_tasks

Destructive

Move multiple tasks simultaneously to projects, parent tasks, or Inbox. Validates the entire batch before changes and verifies every destination.

Instructions

Move a confirmed set of tasks to projects, parent tasks, or Inbox. The complete batch is validated before any change and every destination is verified afterward.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
movesYesConfirmed task moves. The whole batch is preflighted and verified automatically.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark it as destructive; the description adds behavioral details (preflight validation, post-verification) that go beyond the annotations, providing useful context for an AI agent.

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 sentences, no redundant words. The first sentence states purpose, the second adds behavioral details. Highly efficient.

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?

Given no output schema and complex input, the description covers the key behavioral pattern (validation then execution). Could mention atomicity or partial failure handling, but overall adequate.

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% with detailed descriptions for all parameters. The description reinforces the 'confirmed' and 'preflighted' aspects but does not add significant new meaning beyond the schema.

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' and the resource 'tasks', specifying destinations (projects, parent tasks, Inbox) and emphasizing a 'confirmed set', distinguishing it from the sibling 'move_task' tool.

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?

The description implies batch use with validation and verification, but does not explicitly state when to use versus single-task alternatives or when not to use it.

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