Move Document

move_document
Idempotent

Move a document or folder to a different parent folder in the binder, with optional position control.

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
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.
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations show idempotentHint=true and destructiveHint=false. Description adds that only location changes, not content, confirming nondestructive nature. No contradictions.

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: first states action and optional position, second states prerequisites. No redundant information, front-loaded with key purpose.

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?

Covers purpose, behavior, and prerequisites. No output schema but description implies operation returns nothing specific; may benefit from mentioning success/error, but adequate.

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%. Description adds context for 'position' parameter (optional insertion index), but other parameters are already well-described in 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?

Description clearly states 'Move a document or folder to a different parent folder' with specific verb and resource. Distinguishes from siblings like create/delete/update by focusing on location change only.

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?

Provides explicit prerequisites: open project, valid document ID, valid target folder ID. Does not give when-not or alternatives, but context is clear.

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