Keyword search across meeting titles and summaries. Returns matching meetings with key metadata.
AI agents call search_meetings to retrieve information from Granola MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries data from the Granola meeting notes system without creating, modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a passive search function that returns results only. The most restrictive action is reading data, making it a Read category tool with low severity—accidental or malicious misuse would retrieve information but cannot cause irreversible harm or side effects.
