move_window_to_workspace

Move a window to a designated workspace by ID or name. Target a specific window or use the active one, with optional silent operation.

Instructions

Move a window to a different workspace.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
silentNoIf true, move without switching focus to that workspace
targetNoWindow address or selector to move. Omit to move the currently active window.
workspaceYesWorkspace id (number) or name, e.g. 3 or 'special:scratch'
Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description bears full responsibility. It only states the action but does not disclose side effects, required permissions, error behavior (e.g., if workspace does not exist), or whether the move is immediate. This is insufficient for 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?

Description is a single, clear sentence with no unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and efficient.

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?

Given no annotations or output schema, the description is too minimal. It does not explain what 'move' entails (e.g., does it affect focus? what if window is fullscreen?), nor does it mention return values or side effects. For a tool with three parameters, more context is needed.

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 descriptions for all three parameters. The tool description does not add any additional meaning beyond what the schema already provides. Baseline 3 is appropriate as the description neither harms nor significantly enhances parameter understanding.

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?

Clearly states the action: move a window to a different workspace. The verb 'move' and resources 'window' and 'workspace' are specific. It inherently distinguishes from siblings like 'move_active_window' (which only moves the active window) and 'switch_workspace' (which does not move windows).

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 vs alternatives like 'move_active_window' or 'switch_workspace'. The description does not specify context, prerequisites, or when to avoid using it.

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