Can I search for specific keywords across all my notebooks?

Yes. The `search_notecards` tool allows your AI agent to perform a global search across your entire Zoho Notebook account, returning all cards that match your query string instantly.

How do I add a new checklist or note to a specific notebook?

You can use the `create_notecard` tool. Provide the parent `notebook_id`, a title, and the content. You can also specify the type as 'text' or 'checklist' to match your organizational needs.

Is it possible to see the full content of a card via chat?

Absolutely. Use the `get_notecard_details` tool and provide the notebook and card IDs. Your agent will retrieve the full body content and metadata for that specific note.
