read-get is a skill for Claude Code from tboome33/obsidian-mcp-router. It costs 121 tokens per session (484 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A full-file reader that fetches a note's Markdown content together with its frontmatter, the metadata at the top of the file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to open a vault file, inspect its contents, and obtain a fingerprint before making a conditional edit.
Why use it?
It gives you the complete current note in one response instead of requiring separate metadata and content lookups.

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

read-get 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

read-get

Call the obsidian-router get_file MCP tool with arguments parsed from $ARGUMENTS.

Arguments

Required:

  • path — file path relative to vault root (e.g. Sessions/2026-05-02.md).

Optional:

  • vault — vault name. If omitted, the router uses its default vault.

Argument parsing from $ARGUMENTS

  • bare path → path
  • <vault>/<path> if first segment matches a known vault name → split into vault + path
  • vault=X path=Y (key=value)
  • if user just says "the daily note" or similar without a clear path, ask for the path

If path is missing, refuse to call the tool and ask the user for it.

Output format

After fetching, render the markdown content. If the file has frontmatter, format it as a YAML code block at the top followed by the body. Don't truncate unless the file is huge (>2000 lines), in which case show the first 200 lines and offer to fetch more on request.

contentSha256 (for conditional writes)

The result also carries contentSha256 — a fingerprint of the file's current content. If you intend to modify the file after reading it, keep this value: pass it back as ifMatch on the subsequent write_file / patch_file / merge_frontmatter / move_file / delete_file so the change is refused if the file was modified in between. This is how you avoid overwriting a concurrent edit. Don't surface the hash to the user unless asked — it's plumbing.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
