A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Notes.app on macOS as tools for LLM agents — list, read, create, update, delete, and search notes.
Part of the migo-mcp monorepo of independent MCP servers for Apple apps.
osascript to automate Notes.app — there's no other public API for Notes)npm install
npm run build| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_notes | List notes (id, title, modification date), no body. Optional limit. |
read_note | Read a note's full content (Markdown) by id. |
create_note | Create a note from Markdown content. The first line becomes the title (that's how Notes.app derives it). Optional folder (defaults to "Notes"). |
update_note | Replace a note's entire content by id. |
delete_note | Delete a note by id. Moves it to "Recently Deleted", same as the UI — recoverable for ~30 days. |
search_notes | Case-insensitive substring search over title + content. Optional limit. |
