Validate a note against applicable standards. Returns a compliance report with violations and warnings.
AI agents call palace_standards_validate to retrieve information from Obsidian Palace MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
The tool retrieves and analyzes note data to produce a compliance report. No modifications are made to notes, no data is deleted, no external systems are invoked, and no code execution occurs. This is purely an informational read operation with no side effects. The low severity reflects that misuse would only affect information display, not data integrity or system state.
From the tool's definition Tool 'palace_standards_validate' performs validation and returns a compliance report with violations and warnings. This is a query/analysis operation that reads note content and applies standards checks without modifying data or triggering external operations.
