Resolve Alias
resolve_aliasRead-onlyIdempotent
Resolve a human-friendly title or alias to its actual Obsidian note path by searching frontmatter aliases and, optionally, filenames before calling get_note.
Instructions
Find every note whose frontmatter aliases: field contains the given name (case-insensitive). With includeBasename: true, also matches notes whose filename (without .md) equals the name — Obsidian's resolution fallback when no alias matches. Use to translate a human-friendly title like 'My Project' into the actual note path before calling get_note.
