tag_move

Move a tag to a different parent or make it a root tag by specifying a new parent ID or null. Returns the updated tag ID and parent ID.

Instructions

Move a tag to a new parent, or promote it to a root tag by passing parentId=null. Do not use to rename a tag; prefer tag_update instead. Get tag IDs from tag_list. Returns the updated tag's ID and new parentId on success. Triggers a sync; call sync_trigger after to propagate to other devices. Example: tag_move({ id: "tag123", parentId: "tag456" }) Example: tag_move({ id: "tag123", parentId: null })

idYesPersistent ID of the tag to move. Get from tag_list.
parentIdYesNew parent tag ID, or null to promote the tag to root level.
Behavior5/5

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

Discloses return values (updated tag's ID and new parentId), sync triggering, and promotion behavior. No annotations to contradict.

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 with no extraneous information. Front-loaded with the core action.

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

Completeness5/5

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

Fully covers input, behavior, output, and side effects for a simple move operation. No missing pieces given the tool's complexity.

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

Parameters5/5

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

Adds context beyond schema: id from tag_list, parentId null for promotion, and examples. Schema coverage is 100% but description enriches it.

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 'Move a tag to a new parent, or promote it to a root tag' and contrasts with rename. Includes examples.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly tells when to use (move/promote) and when not (rename), recommends tag_update, and tells to get IDs from tag_list.

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