Move Document

move_document
Idempotent

Move a document or folder to a different parent folder in the binder, optionally insert at a specific index. Keep content unchanged.

Instructions

Move a document or folder to a different parent folder in the binder, optionally at a specific position among the target folder's children. Changes only the location, not the content. Requires an open project, a valid document id, and a valid target folder id.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
forceNoWrite even if the project appears open in Scrivener. Default false, which refuses the write to protect against your changes being overwritten by Scrivener on save.
positionNoZero-based index at which to insert the item among the target folder's children. Omit to append at the end.
documentIdYesScrivener document UUID, as returned by get_structure (a binder item "id").
targetFolderIdYesUUID of a binder folder, as returned by get_structure.
Behavior5/5

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

The description states 'Changes only the location, not the content', aligning with annotations (destructiveHint=false). It also explains the force parameter's behavior regarding project openness protection. No contradictions with annotations.

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?

Two sentences efficiently convey purpose, prerequisites, and parameter context without excess. Every sentence earns its place.

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?

Given no output schema, the description adequately covers input requirements, parameter behavior, and effect (location change). It could mention return value but is otherwise complete for this tool.

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

Parameters4/5

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

With 100% schema coverage, baseline is 3. The description adds value by explaining position as zero-based and omitting appends, and force's default and protective behavior. This goes beyond the schema.

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 clearly states 'Move a document or folder to a different parent folder', providing a specific verb and resource. It distinguishes from sibling tools like create_document or update_document by focusing on repositioning.

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?

The description lists required prerequisites (open project, valid IDs) and mentions optional position control. However, it does not explicitly state when not to use this tool or name alternatives.

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