Set folder display order

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

Annotations already indicate non-read-only, non-destructive, and open-world behavior. The description adds that the reordering affects the UI and defines the sort direction, providing useful context beyond the annotations.

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

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

Two short, front-loaded sentences with no redundant wording; every word adds value.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The core behavior is covered, but the description omits important usage details such as whether partial reordering is supported, the fate of unlisted folders, and any return value, which is significant for a tool with no output schema and minimal parameter descriptions.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The description explains the meaning of the `order` property ('Higher order values sort higher'), which is absent from the schema descriptions. However, it does not clarify whether the `folders` array should include all folders or only a subset, leaving some parameter contract ambiguous.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses the specific verb 'Reorder' with resource 'folders' and explains the ordering direction ('Higher order values sort higher in the list'), clearly distinguishing it from sibling folder tools like create_folder or update_folder.

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

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

The description implies usage for display ordering but does not explicitly address when to use this tool versus update_folder or move_profiles_to_folder, nor does it mention prerequisites or exclusions.

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