The two tools are complementary and non-overlapping: search_notes locates notes by meaning/keyword, and read_note opens one specific note by filename. Descriptions explicitly state the handoff between them (search first, then read the whole note).

Both names follow the same verb_noun snake_case convention (search_notes, read_note). The pattern is predictable and self-documenting.

Two tools is on the thin side for even a narrow server. It covers the search-and-open flow, but there is no room for supporting operations like listing or browsing notes.

Retrieval is covered end-to-end (find then read), but the memory domain has a notable gap: there is no way to create, update, or list notes, so an agent cannot persist or enumerate memories. It is workable if notes are written by other means, but the surface feels partial.
