Summary

Read a note from the Obsidian vault by its path and return its contents. The command uses the selected vault and timeout settings from Additional Fields or the credential defaults.

Inputs

  • Path (required) — Vault-relative note path, such as Inbox/Note.md.
  • Additional Fields — Timeout Seconds sets the command timeout (default 60 seconds). Vault optionally overrides the credential’s default vault.

Output shape

A single item per input item, with a content string containing the note text.

The output may also include stderr when present. A nonzero CLI exit code or request error fails the operation unless Continue On Fail is enabled.
