Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| vault_writeA | Create or overwrite a note in the vault. Args: path: Note path relative to vault root (e.g. "skill/timeout-diagnosis") frontmatter: YAML metadata dict. Required fields: type, confidence. body: Markdown body content. Should start with "# Title". Returns warnings if the note has structural issues. |
| vault_write_batchA | Write multiple notes atomically in a single transaction. Args: entries: List of dicts, each with "path", "frontmatter", "body" keys. All notes are written together — if one fails, none are committed. |
| vault_readA | Read a note from the vault. Returns its frontmatter and body. Args: path: Note path (e.g. "concept/connection-pooling") |
| vault_editA | Apply an incremental edit to an existing note without rewriting the full content. Args: path: Note path to edit. operation: One of "replace_string", "set_frontmatter", "replace_section", "append_section". params: Operation-specific parameters: - replace_string: {"old": "...", "new": "..."} - set_frontmatter: {"field": "value", ...} (merge update) - replace_section: {"heading": "## Section", "body": "new content"} - append_section: {"heading": "## Section", "content": "appended text"} Returns warnings if the edit introduces structural issues. |
| vault_deleteA | Delete a note and remove it from all indexes. Args: path: Note path to delete. |
| vault_renameA | Rename or move a note. All [[backlinks]] in other notes are rewritten automatically. Args: old_path: Current note path. new_path: New note path. |
| vault_listA | Browse notes under a path. Args: path: Directory path (e.g. "skill"). Use "" for vault root. depth: How many levels deep to list (default 1). type_filter: Only return notes of this type (e.g. "skill", "concept"). |
| vault_searchA | Search the vault by keyword, semantic similarity, or both. Args: query: Search query text. filters: Optional filters: {"type": "skill", "confidence": "fact", "tags": ["db"]}. mode: "keyword" (FTS5), "semantic" (vector), or "hybrid" (both, default). limit: Max results (default 10). Returns rich results with path, score, title, type, confidence, tags, and snippet. |
| vault_backlinksA | Find all notes that contain a [[wikilink]] to the given path. Args: path: Target note path. |
| vault_traverseA | Explore the link graph around a note via BFS traversal. Args: start: Starting note path. depth: How many hops to follow (default 2). direction: "forward" (outgoing links), "backward" (incoming), or "both". Returns nodes with depth and directed edges (source → target). |
| vault_lintA | Check vault health: find dead [[wikilinks]] and orphan notes with no connections. |
