Tool Reference

This page lists every tool NoteTalker can use during a conversation. Tools are sorted alphabetically. There are 42 built-in tools in total. The AI decides which to call as it works — most of them run entirely on your machine against your local vault, and a small number reach the network only when you ask (see Tools requiring setup).

Core Tools (Loaded by Default)

NoteTalker keeps the full parameter schemas for its 14 most-used tools in the model’s context at the start of every conversation:

1. create_note
2. update_note
3. read_note
4. search_notes
5. get_or_create_daily_note
6. add_task
7. toggle_task
8. get_tasks
9. create_voice_note
10. remember_fact
11. memory_search
12. navigate_to_tab
13. search_help_docs
14. web_search

Every other tool is still available — NoteTalker sees its name and a compact schema, and pulls the tool’s full parameter documentation on demand with get_tool_schema the moment it needs it. Nothing has to be enabled or unlocked; keeping only the core schemas in context by default just keeps the model fast and reliable while leaving all 42 tools within reach.

Tools requiring setup

Almost every tool works offline against your local vault. The exceptions are the handful that reach outside it — each is optional and needs a one-time setup step:

Tool	What it needs
get_upcoming_meetings	A one-time Google Calendar sign-in (OAuth), so your events sync into your daily notes. Once synced, this tool reads only local files.
get_weather	A home location (latitude/longitude) set in Settings, plus a network connection — forecasts come from Open-Meteo.
web_search	A network connection. Web search can be turned off entirely in Settings.

Everything else — notes, memory, knowledge graph, CRM, daily notes, tasks, templates, reminders, scheduled tasks, and voice — runs entirely on your device.
