Create multiple notes in one call

create_notes

Create multiple notes in a single API call to bootstrap a knowledge graph with MOC and topical notes. Each entry supports path, content, frontmatter, and wiki-links. Errors are reported per note; optionally stop on first failure.

Instructions

Create many notes in a single tool call. Designed for bootstrapping a knowledge graph (MOC + topical notes) without paying N round-trips. Each entry follows the same schema as create_note. Per-note errors are reported individually; pass stop_on_error: true to abort on the first failure. Within a batch, later entries also fail if they target a path already created earlier in the same call.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
notesYesNotes to create. Each entry has the same fields as create_note.
stop_on_errorNoAbort the batch on the first failure. Default: continue and report per-note results.
Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description covers per-note error reporting, the stop_on_error parameter behavior, and intra-batch path conflict handling. It does not mention atomicity or other side effects, but these are reasonably inferred.

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?

Three concise sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then use case, then behavioral details. No wasted words.

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?

While the description explains error handling, it does not specify the response format (e.g., array of results). Given the lack of an output schema, this omission creates a slight ambiguity for the agent.

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%, but the description adds value by explaining the batch context (e.g., each entry follows create_note schema, path conflicts within batch). It clarifies stop_on_error beyond the schema description.

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 clearly states it creates multiple notes in one call, specifically for bootstrapping a knowledge graph, distinguishing it from the single-note sibling create_note.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description gives a clear use case (bootstrapping a knowledge graph) and explains error handling options (stop_on_error). It implicitly contrasts with create_note but does not explicitly list when not to use it.

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