Add a short, dated changelog entry to a note — structured evidence of a change (e.g. "Bumped reply target 3-5 → 8-10"), separate from and never touching the note body by default. Purely additive: does not overwrite or clobber content. Two ways to use it: (1) create a NEW numbered entry — if anchor is given (exact or substring text of an existing line), a small "((n))" marker pointing to the new entry is appended to that line, failing if anchor doesn't match any line (call get_note first if unsure of the exact text); without anchor the entry is note-wide with no inline marker. (2) append to an EXISTING entry via appendTo: n (e.g. 3 for an existing "((3))" marker) — adds another dated comment/update under that same marker without creating a new marker or number; fails if entry n doesn't exist yet. appendTo and anchor are mutually exclusive — anchor is ignored when appendTo is set. Use section (e.g. "update", "note") to label what kind of entry this is when a marker accumulates several over time — the UI groups/filters by section. Use this instead of update_note/append_to_note when recording a decision or change without altering the visible note text. Capped to the most recent 20 entries total across all markers.

Add an unchecked checklist item ("- [ ] text" line) to a note

Add a label to a note (no-op if already present)

Append text to an existing note

Check off a checklist item in a note, matched by text (case-insensitive, whole-item match, not substring). Fails with an error if no item matches — call get_note first if you're not sure of the exact wording. Prefer this over update_note for checking a single item; it also triggers the "all done" push notification when it completes the last item.

Create a new note owned by the current user.

Permanently delete a note by ID. Destructive and not reversible via the API — confirm with the user before calling this unless they clearly already asked for the note to be deleted.

Get the user's open (unchecked) checklist items across all unarchived notes, each with its note ID and title. Call this at the start of a session to pick up tasks the user left for you — items you can act on, act on; check them off with check_item when done.

Get a single note by ID, full content included. Only returns notes owned by the current user; an ID belonging to someone else or that doesn't exist fails. Use this before check_item/uncheck_item when you're not sure of a checklist item's exact text.

Get the user's stored settings, including their IANA timezone (e.g. "Europe/Berlin") if set. Use this to convert a spoken local time ("6pm", "tomorrow at 9am") into the correct UTC reminderAt — never guess or assume the user's timezone.

List or search the current user's notes only. Search matches title or content, case-insensitive substring. Defaults to unarchived notes, newest/pinned first. Use this to find a note's ID before calling get_note, update_note, or the checklist/label tools, which all require one.

Permanently remove a single changelog entry (e.g. a test/junk entry added by mistake). Strips the trailing "((n))" marker from content if the removed entry itself carried it, and decrements the lifetime section counter so a removed entry stops inflating it. A marker number is NOT a unique entry id -- appendTo lets many entries share one n as a running thread. If more than one entry shares n, this fails and lists each entry's at timestamp; pass the specific one you mean as at to remove only that entry, not the whole thread. Call get_note first if unsure which entries share a marker.

Remove a label from a note

Change an existing checklist item's nesting depth, matched by text (case-insensitive, whole-item match, not substring). 0 = top level, 1 = nested one level, etc. Fails with an error if no item matches — call get_note first if you're not sure of the exact wording.

Uncheck a checklist item in a note, matched by text (case-insensitive, whole-item match, not substring). Fails with an error if no item matches — call get_note first if you're not sure of the exact wording.

Update an existing note. Only the fields you pass are changed — omitted fields keep their current value, except labels, which is a full replace (see below). content, if passed, overwrites the whole body; use append_to_note instead if you only want to add text.
