Summary

Lists files in the configured Obsidian vault, optionally limited to a folder. Sends the files CLI command and returns parsed stdout when available.

Inputs

  • Folder — Optional folder to list, such as Inbox. An empty value lists files without a folder filter.
  • Timeout Seconds — Command timeout in seconds; defaults to 60.
  • Vault — Optional vault name or path. Overrides the credential’s default vault.

Output shape

One n8n item per input item, containing the parsed command stdout when it can be parsed, or { "ok": true } otherwise.

A non-empty stderr is included as stderr; a timed-out result includes timed_out. Nonzero command exit codes and API request errors fail the operation unless Continue On Fail is enabled.
