Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

obsidian-vault-workflow scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Obsidian Vault Workflow

Use this skill when a user asks an agent to inspect, organize, summarize, or update an Obsidian vault through this MCP server.

Principles

  • Treat the vault as the user's source of truth.
  • Prefer read-only exploration before editing.
  • Use vault-relative paths only.
  • Never delete notes unless the user explicitly asks for deletion.
  • For broad edits, make a short plan and name the affected folder or note set.
  • When writing existing notes, recommend OBSIDIAN_BACKUP_ON_WRITE=true.
  • Keep generated notes concise and link-friendly.

Discovery Flow

  1. Use get_folder_structure to understand the top-level vault layout.
  2. Use list_notes for the relevant folder rather than scanning the whole vault when the user gives a scope.
  3. Use search_notes for terms, tags, and project names.
  4. Use get_note before modifying any existing note.
  5. Use get_note_links and get_backlinks when the task depends on relationships between notes.

Safe Editing Flow

  1. Confirm the exact target path.
  2. Read the current note with get_note.
  3. Make the smallest useful update.
  4. Preserve frontmatter unless the user asks to change it.
  5. After writing, read the note again or summarize the changed path and content.

Useful Prompts

Daily Project Status

Ask the agent:

Generate a daily status report for my Projects folder. Include recently touched notes, open checkbox tasks, completed checkbox count, and top tags. Preview it first.

If approved, write it to:

Reports/Daily Project Status.md

Vault Triage

Ask the agent:

Review the top-level vault structure and suggest 5 cleanup actions. Do not edit anything yet.

Project Catch-Up

Ask the agent:

Search the vault for notes about <project name>, then summarize the current status, open tasks, and important linked notes.

Output Style

  • Use note paths in backticks.
  • Separate findings from proposed edits.
  • Keep status reports skimmable.
  • Mention when no edit was made.
