Twenty-six tools cover the whole Joplin object model — notes, notebooks, tags, trash, file import — but the design decision worth noting is that write access is graded. The installer asks separately for write, update and delete; read is always on, so a cautious setup gives an assistant search over years of notes without any way to damage them. A notebook allowlist narrows it further using gitignore-style patterns, hiding everything outside the listed notebooks. Connection is the Web Clipper token from Joplin Desktop's options, and attachment OCR text is readable too, which makes scanned PDFs searchable in the same query as plain notes.
