Server tool list (10)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

list_folders	List the person's folders: id, name, colour and how many active notes each holds, newest activity first, and the palette of folder colours.
create_folder	Make a new folder with a name and a colour. Returns the folder with its id.
list_notes	List the person's notes: id, folder, title, a short preview, star, file count and timestamps. Starred first, then newest. One folder, or every folder when none is given.
read_note	Read one note in full, with its Markdown body, its folder and its files (numbered: file 1, file 2).
create_note	Create a new note in a folder, with a title and a Markdown body. Without a folder it goes in the oldest one.
edit_note	Change a note's title, body, star or folder. The body replaces the whole note. A folder moves the note there.
archive_note	Hide a note from the active list, or bring it back. Nothing is deleted.
read_file	Fetch one of the note's files by its number. A text file (Markdown, JSON, a list) comes back as text; an image, such as a photo or a receipt, comes back as the image. Anything else is described: name, type, size.
attach_file	Attach a file to the note: a photo, a receipt, a PDF, a Markdown or JSON file. Give `text` for a text file or `base64` for anything else, never both. The file gets the next number in the note. At most 10 MB.
delete_note	Delete a note and its files permanently. It cannot be brought back.
