Notes · macOS

Effect: read (strongest supported action). Status: gated.

Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.

macOS

Purpose

Reads the full content of a note by name or ID. CHECK `body_format` BEFORE WRITING THE BODY BACK. "markdown" means the note's formatting (headings, bold/italic, bullet/numbered lists, checkboxes, links, monospaced) came through as Markdown and update_note takes it back as-is — literal `*`, backticks and brackets arrive backslash-escaped so they survive the round trip. "plain_text" means the formatting could NOT be recovered and `body` is flat text: writing it back REPLACES the note's structure with flat text, so edit the note by other means (or ask the user) instead of rewriting the whole body.

Required inputs
