Move / Reparent / Reorder Node

move_entity

Reparent, promote, or reorder Cinema 4D objects, takes, and render_data within the scene hierarchy by specifying a new parent, sibling position, or root level.

Instructions

Reparent a node under a new parent, promote it to the top of its hierarchy, or reorder it relative to a sibling. Works on objects, takes, and render_data — siblings/parents must share the moved node's kind. Exactly one destination field must be provided (parent, before, after, or to_root:true). For takes, to_root:true reparents under Main; the Main take itself cannot be moved. Returns the node's new canonical handle so follow-up edits remain stable.

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
afterNoInsert immediately after this sibling.
beforeNoInsert immediately before this sibling.
handleYesNode to move (object / take / render_data).
parentNoInsert as last child of this parent.
to_rootNoPromote to the top of the hierarchy (objects → doc root, takes → under Main, render_data → top level).

  3. First observedv0.3.1

TDQS

A4.2/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries the load and does well: it discloses the mutual-exclusion constraint, the kind-matching precondition, the take/Main edge case (Main take cannot be moved), and the returned canonical handle that keeps follow-up edits stable. It stops short of covering failure modes or permission requirements for this mutation.

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?

Four sentences, front-loaded with the operation list, then constraints, then return behavior. No filler and every sentence conveys actionable information.

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 5-parameter mutation tool with no annotations and no output schema, the description covers the critical decision rules and even the return value. Minor gaps remain around error/edge cases beyond the Main-take exception.

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 description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds the exclusivity rule and the take-specific meaning of `to_root`, but the per-parameter semantics of `parent`/`before`/`after` are already spelled out in the schema's own descriptions.

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 opens with a specific verb and resource and enumerates the three distinct operations (reparent, promote, reorder), making it immediately distinguishable from siblings like create_entity, clone_entity, and remove_entity. An agent can tell what this does without opening the schema.

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?

It gives concrete selection rules: exactly one of `parent`, `before`, `after`, or `to_root:true` must be supplied, siblings/parents must share the moved node's kind, and `to_root` behaves differently for takes. What is missing is routing to any alternative tool, though no sibling tool competes for this operation.

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