karea_add_note

Add a note to a task for human-readable updates and observations. Supports Markdown formatting.

Instructions

Add a note to a task. Notes are human-readable updates/observations (the user reads them). For private AI working memory that persists across sessions, use karea_set_context instead.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
taskYesTask name, visual ID (C1, T2), or UUID
contentYesNote content. Markdown is supported (lists, **bold**, `code`, links) - use it when it improves readability; plain text is also fine.
toolTypeNoOptional: your AI provider ("claude-code" / "opencode" / "codex" / "cursor" / "aider" / "other"). Required when aiSessionId is supplied.
projectIdNoProject name or ID
aiSessionIdNoOptional: your current AI CLI session ID. When paired with toolType, atomically links this session to the affected task (equivalent to calling karea_link_session, but saves the round-trip). For Claude Code use the id from `claude --resume`.
sessionLabelNoOptional short label for the linked session (e.g. "Feature draft").
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations provided; description covers basic behavior (adds a note, supports Markdown) but omits details like whether notes are appended, limits, or return behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two concise sentences: first states purpose, second distinguishes from sibling. Front-loaded and no waste.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Lacks explanation of return value or error cases; but for a simple write operation with good parameter descriptions, it is reasonably complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%; description adds extra value by explaining Markdown support for content and atomic link behavior for aiSessionId.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states the tool adds a note to a task, specifies notes are human-readable, and distinguishes from sibling karea_set_context for private AI working memory.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines5/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly says when to use (adding human-readable notes) and when not (use karea_set_context for private AI memory), providing clear alternatives.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
