AI-generated overview

Searches and retrieves note records from the Carta CRM by keyword and presents the results.

What it does
This skill searches the Carta CRM for note records matching a user-supplied keyword or topic. It calls the CRM search_notes tool, preferring an interactive table view and falling back to a text call when views are unavailable. It presents note titles, text, creation dates and owners, notes the total count, and offers pagination when more results remain.
When to use it
Use it when a user asks to find, search, look up or list notes, or wants notes about a topic or keyword in the Carta CRM. It also fits requests to see more results or page through a note search.
Requirements
Requires access to the Carta CRM through the crm_view_tool and crm_call_tool MCP tools. It ships no scripts and is instructions only.

Overview

Search for notes in the Carta CRM by keyword using search_notes. Return results in a readable summary.

Step 1 — Collect the search term

If the user provided a keyword or topic, use it directly. If no search term was given, ask for one.

Step 2 — Execute the search

Use crm_view_tool so the result renders as an interactive table the user can sort and click through. It takes exactly the same name and arguments as crm_call_tool.

crm_view_tool({  "name": "crm:search_notes",  "arguments": {    query: "<search term>",    limit: 20  }})

Increase limit if the user asks to see more results. Use offset to paginate when remainingCount > 0.

If the view is unavailable

CRM views are enabled per organisation, so the call above may answer with:

CRM tool 'search_notes' has no view — call it with crm_call_tool instead.

That is a normal response, not a failure — this organisation does not have CRM views enabled. Retry the call verbatim through crm_call_tool and present the result as text per Step 3. Do not retry crm_view_tool, and do not report the message to the user.

Step 3 — Present results

When the view rendered, the user already sees every note on screen. Do NOT re-list the titles or re-print the note text — that duplicates the table. Answer the question they actually asked, or acknowledge in one line (e.g. "11 notes mention pricing.").

When you fell back to crm_call_tool, display each note's title, text (truncated to ~200 chars if long), and creation date and owner where available.

If the user asked something the table doesn't answer on its own — a theme across the notes, or which one is relevant — read the content and answer that directly.

If no notes are found:

"No notes found matching your search. Try a different keyword."

Note the total count and offer to paginate if remainingCount > 0.

Send work to your Carta Fund Admin team and track it. Opens a request the team reads, acts on, and replies to — the off-ramp for anything no other Carta skill or command can do. TRIGGER: "ask Carta to", "have Carta do", "send this to my fund admin", "ask my fund admin team", "can Carta do this for me", "check on my request", "did Carta reply", "what requests do I have open", "reply to Carta", "follow up on my request", plus ANY action request (create/change/send/restate/reconcile/split/fix) that no other skill or Carta command covers. NOT FOR: reporting a bug or feature request about this plugin (call fa:create:feedback directly); questions answerable from Carta data (use carta-explore-data); capital call reminders to LPs (that is a Carta command, not a Fund Admin request).
