Browse vault

list_obsidian_notes
Read-only

Browse the user's synced Obsidian notes without a search term — most recently changed first, optionally within one vault, one folder, or one tag. Use it to answer what a folder holds, what they have written lately, or to show them what came across. When they are looking for a specific thing, search_obsidian_notes is the better tool.

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

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

Annotations provide readOnlyHint=true, and the description adds useful behavioral context: no search term is required, results are sorted most recently changed first, and results can be scoped by vault, folder, or tag. It stops short of describing the exact return payload, which is a minor gap given there is no output schema, so it does not earn a 5.

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?

Three sentences with no filler. The first sentence states action, ordering, and filters; the second gives usage contexts; the third routes to the alternative tool. Every sentence earns its place and the key scoping constraint is front-loaded.

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?

The description is complete enough for selection and invocation: it explains what is returned conceptually, how results are ordered, what filters exist, and when to use a sibling. Because no output schema exists, a slightly more explicit statement of the note fields returned would make it fully complete, but this is a moderate gap rather than a critical one.

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 description coverage is 100%, so parameters are already well documented. The description re-expresses vault/folder/tag options in prose but does not add meaningfully new parameter-level details beyond what the schema already states. The baseline of 3 is appropriate.

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 states a specific action ('Browse the user's synced Obsidian notes') and differentiates it from search_obsidian_notes with 'without a search term' and 'most recently changed first'. It clearly identifies the resource and scope, so an agent immediately understands what this tool does and how it differs 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?

The description gives concrete use cases: answering what a folder holds, what the user has written lately, or showing them what came across. It explicitly names search_obsidian_notes as the better tool when looking for something specific, giving an agent clear routing guidance.

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

A4/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct resource and action, with clear boundaries even within overlapping domains like LinkedIn (search vs. free-form query vs. profile vs. summary) and graph deletion (soft single, bulk soft, permanent single). Descriptions explicitly cross-reference related tools to prevent misselection.

Naming Consistency4/5

The vast majority follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (get_, list_, search_, create_, delete_, etc.). A few noun-phrase exceptions like linkedin_analytics, mutual_connections, similar_objects, and what_needs_attention deviate slightly, but they are still descriptive and do not create confusion.

Tool Count2/5

At 66 tools this is far beyond the 25+ threshold considered too many, even though the server covers many integration domains. Each domain has a coherent subset, but the overall surface is heavy for agents to navigate and would benefit from consolidation or namespacing.

Completeness4/5

The set provides deep read/search coverage across Gmail, Slack, Calendar, LinkedIn, HubSpot, Obsidian, Twitter, and a graph store, with core write operations for calendar, drafts, Slack, and graph objects. Minor gaps exist—notably no calendar delete, no direct Gmail send to third parties (only drafts), and no LinkedIn post/message actions—but these appear deliberate and do not block typical workflows.
