You can search an Obsidian vault by mounting it as a read-only knowledge base. This registers a vault_search tool that asynchronously queries your local notes with full-text scoring to surface relevant excerpts for AI context.

Yes, you can safely allow an AI agent to read your Obsidian notes by mounting the vault in read-only mode. This keeps your local files immutable while the agent retrieves contextual information on demand.

Asynchronous full-text search on a local knowledge base works by scanning vault notes and applying density scoring to evaluate relevance. It returns high-quality excerpts from your files to inform AI responses without blocking workflows.

You need a local Obsidian vault directory to mount it as a knowledge base. The Skill requires this local path to register the vault_search tool and enable on-demand asynchronous queries against your notes.

The limitation of using a read-only vault is that the AI cannot create, edit, or delete notes. It is strictly for referencing existing knowledge to provide context, meaning any required note updates must be done manually outside the workflow.

The best way to surface relevant excerpts is using an asynchronous full-text search with density scoring on a mounted local vault. This approach evaluates text relevance and returns high-quality context segments to inform AI answers.
