How does Notesnook ensure my notes remain private through the agent?

Notesnook uses end-to-end encryption (E2EE). When your agent uses the `create_note` or `get_note` tools, it handles encrypted envelopes. This ensures that only authorized clients with your keys can decrypt the actual text body, maintaining zero-knowledge security natively.

Can I see all my notebooks and tags using my agent?

Yes. Use the `list_notebooks` and `list_tags` tools to retrieve the organizational hierarchy of your vault. Your agent will report the names and IDs, helping you understand how your encrypted information is classified across your account.

How do I trigger a synchronization between my vault and the server?

The `sync_items` tool allows your agent to initiate a full or incremental state resolution. By providing a Unix timestamp, your agent can fetch only the most recent encrypted binary objects, ensuring your local environment matches the server's state.
