# notes.get

One note you may see, with every earlier wording (history, oldest first).

|  |  |
|---|---|
| Who | Agents can call this |
| REST | `GET /v1/notes/get` |
| MCP tool | `notes_get` |
| Writes | no |
| Area | [Field work (checklists, forms, time, notes, change orders, subcontractors)](https://doingwork.work/docs/reference/#field-work-checklists-forms-time-notes-change-orders-subcontractors) |

## When to use it

Keep the shop's own notes on a job or one visit (notes.add). For a voice memo, transcribe it with your own speech-to-text and save the words with notes.addVoiceMemo (transcript, duration_seconds, and optionally recorded_at, transcribed_with and language); core runs no speech model and does not store the audio.

## What to tell the owner

Tell them what you found in plain words. Don't read back raw fields.

## Input

| Field | Type | Required |
|---|---|---|
| `note_id` | string (uuid) | yes |
