Retrieve a single cached note entry by its Apple Notes note ID
AI agents call note_get to retrieve information from MCP Apple Notes without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves existing note data by ID without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward read operation with minimal security risk. The use of cached data further limits potential side effects. Low severity reflects that unauthorized note access could expose personal information, but no destructive or system-altering capability is present.
