What reorderDocuments does on Stable Baseline
AI agents use reorderDocuments to create or update resources in Stable Baseline, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Stable Baseline environment.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
items | array | Yes | List of document position updates. All documents must belong to the same project. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
Why reorderDocuments is rated Medium
The tool modifies the state of documents (their relative positions/ordering) in a reversible manner. It does not execute code, delete data, move financial resources, or perform irreversible operations. While it affects document organization, the change can be undone by reordering again.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'reorder[s] documents within a folder' by 'setting sibling positions' and explicitly clarifies this is a 'Position-only update — does not bump version or create a snapshot.' This is a reversible modification of document metadata…

The rule that runs reorderDocuments safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Stable Baseline, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For reorderDocuments, this is the rule to start with:
reorderDocuments stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Stable Baseline, apply this rule, and every reorderDocuments call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about reorderDocuments
Batch-reorder documents within a folder (or project root) by setting sibling positions. Pass [{documentId, position}, ...] where position is a non-negative integer; usually you renumber siblings sequentially as 0, 1, 2…. Position-only update — does not bump version or create a snapshot. To MOVE a document to a different folder, use editDocument({folderId, position}) instead. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Stable Baseline MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.
reorderDocuments accepts 1 parameter: items. Required: items. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Stable Baseline MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for reorderDocuments: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Stable Baseline. Nothing to install.
reorderDocuments is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the reorderDocuments rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for reorderDocuments. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
reorderDocuments is provided by the Stable Baseline MCP server (https://api.stablebaseline.io/functions/v1/cloud-serve/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
