reorder_nodes

Destructive

Rearrange the z-order of design nodes by bringing them forward, backward, to front, or to back.

Instructions

Change the z-order (layer stack position) of one or more nodes.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
orderYesOrder operation: bringToFront, sendToBack, bringForward, or sendBackward
nodeIdsYesNode IDs in colon format e.g. ['4029:12345']
Behavior2/5

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

Annotations indicate destructive operation, but description adds no detail about side effects, reversibility, or impact on other nodes. Misses opportunity to clarify behavior beyond what annotations provide.

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?

Single sentence, no fluff. Could be slightly more informative but remains appropriately concise for a simple tool.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Adequate for a simple two-parameter tool. Lacks mention of immediate effect or validation, but schema and context signals cover basics.

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%, so baseline is 3. Description does not add extra meaning beyond schema fields. No elaboration on order options or node ID format.

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 action ('change') and resource ('z-order of nodes'). Distinguishes from sibling tools like move_nodes or resize_nodes by focusing on layer stack position.

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 versus alternatives. Does not mention prerequisites or when not to use it.

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