zotero_get_item_children
List child items of a Zotero parent item: attachments (with content type and filename) and notes. Use this to obtain the attachment key for subsequent annotation or outline operations.
Instructions
List the child items (attachments, notes, and annotations that are direct children of the attachment) of ONE parent Zotero item. Use this to find an item's PDF/EPUB attachment key before calling zotero_create_annotation, zotero_create_area_annotation, or zotero_get_pdf_outline — all of which take an attachment key, NOT the parent item key. If you need children for several items at once, use zotero_get_items_children (one batched API call instead of N). item_key: the parent item's 8-character key. Returns parent-child structure as markdown: each attachment with its content type and filename, each note with its title. Scope: active library only. Example: zotero_get_item_children(item_key='RTKZQI8E') → its PDF attachment key + any notes.
