Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:464-476 (handler)The main handler function for the 'update_note' tool. It resolves the full file path, checks if the note exists, overwrites the file with the new content, and returns a success message.
async function handleUpdateNote(args: { path: string; content: string; }): Promise<string> { const fullPath = resolvePath(args.path); if (!(await fileExists(fullPath))) { throw new Error(`Note not found at ${args.path}`); } await fs.writeFile(fullPath, args.content, "utf-8"); return `Successfully updated note at ${args.path}`; } - src/index.ts:67-80 (schema)Input schema definition for the 'update_note' tool, specifying required 'path' and 'content' parameters.
inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { path: { type: "string", description: "Path to the note to update relative to vault root", }, content: { type: "string", description: "New content for the note", }, }, required: ["path", "content"], }, - src/index.ts:64-81 (registration)Registration of the 'update_note' tool in the tools array, including name, description, and input schema. This array is returned by the ListToolsRequest handler.
