Reads only

Description

What the model reads, word for word:

Finds every place a value or a note is mentioned, across all notes.

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
values string[] Values to look for, as plain text, for example [“34 Stores at Acme”, “Acme Procurement”]: a figure, a name, a phrase a fact is written in. Case does not count. Send either values or path, not both.
path string A note (or other file), relative to the vault root, for example “projects/apollo/plan.md”, to find every link and path that points at it. A note may be named without “.md”. Send either values or path, not both.
limit integer How many references to return on this page, at most 70. For more, page on with offset. At least 1. At most 70. Default 50.
offset integer How many references to skip. An answer with more after it names the next offset. Default 0.
repo "handbook" | "projects" yes The repository this call works in. One of the repositories the person can read; the values above are Acme’s.

Result

As structuredContent and, the same, as a text block.
