delete_note

macOS

Purpose

Deletes a note from Apple Notes, by ID or exact title. Like deleting it in the app, the note goes to "Recently Deleted" and Apple purges it after 30 days — the user can still recover it there. Requires confirm=true. The result is VERIFIED: the tool re-reads the note after deleting and reports the deletion as unverified if it is still where it was, so a success here means the note is really gone from list_notes/search_notes/read_note. Find note_id with list_notes or search_notes.

Required inputs

Permissions and confirmation

Explicit confirmation parameter: inspect the schema and tool description before any real call. The documentation example keeps confirm false. Obtain user authorization before performing the action.

• Use only the apps, accounts and resources authorized by the user on this platform. Consult this tool's platform-specific description for its connection and permission requirements; this catalog does not assert additional OAuth scopes or OS entitlements.
