Import an existing folder of files

import_guide
Read-only

Return the guide for bulk-importing an existing folder of documents into a space as a page tree, with local Office conversion, PDF/image attachment, and dry-run, confirm, then commit.

Instructions

Return the guide for BULK-importing an existing folder of documents (Word docs, spreadsheets, PDFs, notes) into a space as a page tree — rather than hand-creating pages one at a time. Read this FIRST for any 'import', 'migrate my docs', 'bring in this folder', or 'load these files' request. Covers converting Office files locally (docx → pages, spreadsheets → live sheets), attaching PDFs/images, and the import endpoint's dry-run → confirm → commit contract.

A4.6/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already mark it as read-only and non-destructive. The description adds context about local conversion and the endpoint's contract, going beyond annotations. However, it does not mention any limitations or edge cases.

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?

The description is front-loaded with purpose and usage, but the third sentence is slightly dense. Overall efficient, but not perfectly lean.

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?

With no parameters, clear annotations, and an output schema, the description covers the tool's purpose, usage, and behavioral contract completely. No gaps.

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?

The tool has zero parameters, and the schema coverage is 100% (trivially). The description does not need to add parameter info; baseline for 0 params is 4.

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 it returns a guide for bulk-importing documents into a space as a page tree, specifying the types of documents and contrasting with manual page creation. It is specific and distinct from siblings.

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 instructs to read this guide first for any import-related request, providing clear when-to-use guidance. Also outlines the dry-run, confirm, commit contract.

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