Move elements

move
Destructive

Reposition floor-plan elements by dx/dy cm or to an [x,y] point; the first ID anchors while others keep offsets. Use a dry run to preview changes without applying.

Instructions

Move elements by dx,dy cm, or to=[x,y]: the first id (a piece or a label) goes there and the rest keep their offsets. dry=true answers what it would do without writing anything, dry="summary" answers it short; see update.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
dxNoShift in x, cm (with `dy`)
dyNoShift in y, cm (with `dx`)
toNoInstead of dx/dy: where the first id goes, [x,y] as reads give it (a piece's or a label's center); the others keep their offsets
dryNoTry it without applying; see `update`
idsYesThe elements to move together
joinedNoDrag endpoints of walls joined to moved walls (default true)

TDQS

B3.2/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already declare destructiveHint=true and readOnlyHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the dry-run behavior ('answers what it would do without writing anything'), which is genuinely useful, but it largely restates what the schema already documents for the `dry` param and omits any undo/reversibility or permission context for a destructive mutation.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The purpose and both move modes are front-loaded, and there is no filler. It is slightly dense/run-on with the tail-end cross-reference, but every clause carries 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?

With an output schema present, return format need not be explained, and the description covers the two movement modes and dry-run options. For a destructive operation it stops short of stating reversibility or permission requirements, leaving a minor gap.

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 repeats the dx/dy cm units, the to=[x,y] semantics, and the dry modes — helpful phrasing, but no syntax, units, or edge-case meaning beyond what the schema already supplies.

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?

States a specific verb (Move) and resource (elements) and details two modes: dx/dy offsets in cm, or to=[x,y] with the first id going there. It is clearly distinguishable in concept, but never names the overlapping siblings (arrange, place, update) it should be chosen over.

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?

The only usage signal is the trailing 'see `update`' cross-reference and the dry-run explanation, both tied to a parameter rather than to tool selection. There is no statement of when to use move vs arrange/place, nor any prerequisite or when-not guidance.

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