move_cell

Move a Colab notebook cell to a new position by specifying its cell ID and target index. Requires an active browser connection to the Colab session.

Instructions

Move a cell to a new position in the Colab notebook by cellId and target index. Requires an active browser connection via open_colab_browser_connection.

Behavior3/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses the prerequisite and the basic operation, but does not mention side effects on other cells, index bounds, or error behavior. It lacks detailed behavioral disclosure expected from a mutation tool.

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?

The description is a single efficient sentence that front-loads the purpose and follows with a necessary prerequisite. No wasted words.

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?

For a simple move operation with an output schema available, the description covers the key action and prerequisite. It omits edge-case behavior (e.g., invalid cellId) and index interpretation, but overall is reasonably complete.

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?

The description maps both parameters (cellId and target index) to their roles, compensating for the 0% schema coverage. However, it does not explain defaults or validate index semantics.

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 action (Move a cell), the resource (Colab notebook), and the method (by cellId and target index), distinguishing it from sibling tools like add/delete/update/run.

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

Usage Guidelines3/5

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

The description mentions a prerequisite (requires an active browser connection) but does not explicitly compare with alternatives or state when not to use it. Usage is implied rather than explicitly guided.

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