# Move Agent To Folder

> Use the move_agent_to_folder MCP tool on the DialNexa remote MCP server.

<span data-api-safety-label="changes-state"><Badge color="yellow" size="sm" shape="pill">Changes state - verify before retry</Badge></span>

Files an agent into a folder, or removes it from one. Purely organisational and reversible: it changes nothing about how the agent behaves, dials or is billed. Resolve the agent with list\_agents and the folder with list\_organization\_folders first.

## Parameters

| Name        | Type     | Required | Description                                                   |
| ----------- | -------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `agent_id`  | `string` | Yes      | The agent ID, e.g. agent\_abc123                              |
| `folder_id` | `string` | No       | Target folder ID, or null to take the agent out of any folder |

## Before you call

* Connect and initialize the MCP client with OAuth or an API key for the intended workspace.
* Provide the required parameters: `agent_id`.

## Example MCP request

Send `tools/call` after your client completes MCP initialization. Replace placeholder values with IDs and inputs from your workspace. For object and array parameters, follow the nested requirements in the parameter description instead of treating an empty value as complete.

```json theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "move_agent_to_folder",
    "arguments": {
      "agent_id": "agent_abc123"
    }
  }
}
```

The server returns one text content block. Parse `content[0].text` as JSON when the tool succeeds. See [MCP responses and errors](/docs/mcp-tools/errors) for the full envelope and failure behavior.

## Verify the result

Confirm the response is not marked `isError`. Call [List Agents](/docs/mcp-tools/agents/list-agents) to read the affected resource. Verify that the intended state is visible before making another change.

## Retry safety

This tool changes workspace state. After a timeout, read the affected resource before retrying so you do not create duplicate or conflicting changes.
