lb_add_node

Creates a new node in your knowledge graph immediately. Unlike lb_capture, this tool is synchronous — the node is available for search as soon as the call returns.

Use this for structured, AI-synthesized knowledge: notes, summaries, decisions, or anything you want to add directly rather than ingest from a URL.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
title	string	Yes	Node title
para_item_ids	string[]	No	PARA item IDs to tag this node with
summary	string	No	Short summary of the node’s content
body_markdown	string	No	Full body content in Markdown
tags	string[]	No	Free-form tags to attach to the node
why	string	No	Reason for adding this node — stored as metadata, useful for recall

Response

{
  "id": "...",
  "title": "...",
  "summary": "...",
  "created_at": "..."
}

The full node object is returned, including the generated id.

Usage notes

• This tool bypasses the ingestion pipeline. No AI processing (summarization, embedding, link detection) is triggered automatically. Embeddings are generated asynchronously after insertion, so the node may not appear in semantic search results immediately.
• Pass body_markdown for content that benefits from full-text search. Pass summary for a shorter, indexed excerpt.
• To link the node into your PARA structure at creation time, supply para_item_ids. You can also tag it later with lb_update_node_tags.
