read_resources

Batch resources/read: read many obsidian-tc://<vault>/<path> note resource URIs in one call. Returns one result per URI in request order: {ok: true, uri, mimeType, text} (identical to a single resources/read) or {ok: false, uri, error} for a malformed or unsupported URI, a vault the caller may not read (a vault-bound caller may read only its own), a denied or missing note. The response is held under the server’s byte budget: when the batch does not fit, the results that fit are returned with next_cursor; call again with the same arguments plus cursor to continue exactly where the page stopped (request order, no duplicates, no gaps) until next_cursor is null. A single resource too large to ever fit is reported as a too_large error (with its size and the budget) and skipped, so the walk always makes progress. A cursor is bound to the caller, the tool and these exact arguments, and expires. response_format=concise returns each item as {ok: true, uri, text} with the note body only (no frontmatter block, no mimeType); error items are unchanged.
