roam_import_markdown
Import nested markdown into Roam under a specific block. Locate parent by UID or exact string; missing parent blocks are created. Returns the created nested block structure.
Instructions
Import nested markdown content into Roam under a specific block. Can locate the parent block by UID (preferred) or by exact string match within a specific page. If a parent_string is provided and the block does not exist, it will be created. Returns a nested structure of the created blocks.
API Usage Note: This tool fetches the full nested structure after import for verification. For large imports or when rate limits are a concern, consider using roam_process_batch_actions with pre-structured actions instead.
IMPORTANT: Before using this tool, ensure that you have loaded into context the 'Roam Markdown Cheatsheet' resource.
