suggest_tags
Suggest tags for a note, preferring the vault’s existing tag vocabulary. Asks the calling client’s own model over MCP sampling when the client supports it (source: client-sampled; the note text is sent to that client only); otherwise falls back to a deterministic match against existing tags (source: heuristic). Read-only: apply a suggestion with add_tag. response_format=concise returns only source and the suggestions. Domain: metadata.
