adding-llm-mcp-tools

adding-llm-mcp-tools is an MCP server development skill for AI agents, published by TriliumNext in the Trilium repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates adding-llm-mcp-tools C (73/100) and it passed the safety scan; a judge model has also reviewed it.

Use when adding, changing, or reviewing an LLM/MCP tool in Trilium (the `defineTools` definitions under packages/trilium-core/src/services/llm/tools/ — note/attribute/attachment/hierarchy/icon/skill tools) — anything exposed to both the in-app LLM chat and the external MCP server. Covers why `execute` MUST be synchronous (the `NotAPromise<T>` compile guard + better-sqlite3 sync transactions), the `mutates:true`→`getSql().transactional` wiring, the single `allToolRegistries` registration point feeding both consumers, the return-`{error}`-don't-throw contract, the protected/system-note guards, and the `getTool()`/`cls.init()` spec harness. Do NOT use for client-side note UI, ETAPI endpoints, or generic Vitest questions (see writing-unit-tests).

Extraordinarily specific, battle-scarred guidance down to line numbers and commit hashes, but it is one dense wall of footguns with no reference split.
