"\n\n"; if (!(await fileExists(fullPath))) { throw new Error(`Note not found at ${args.path}`); } const existingContent = await fs.readFile(fullPath, "utf-8"); const newContent = existingContent + separator + args.content; await fs.writeFile(fullPath, newContent, "utf-8"); return `Successfully appended content to ${args.path}`; } - src/index.ts:82-104 (schema)The input schema definition for the append_to_note tool, including parameters for path, content, and optional separator.
