## Why add_observations is rated Medium

The 'add_' prefix indicates a create or modify operation (Write category), not retrieval (Read) or deletion (Destructive). Without destructive semantics and given the knowledge management context, this is classified as Write.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'add_observations' suggests creating or appending observation data. The empty description provides no explicit clarification, but in the context of an Obsidian RAG knowledge base server, 'add' operations typically modify vault contents reversibly."

## Use case

AI agents use add_observations to create or update resources in Obsidian Elite RAG MCP Server, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Obsidian Elite RAG MCP Server environment.
