Add person note
Add a note to a person's profile in a note category.
MCP tool planning_center_write → add_person_note
write Confirm
Adds a note on the profile's Notes tab with the category, date and text you give; Planning Center shows the date and you as the author. Your account needs View / Create access to that category, or the call fails. Nobody is emailed, but anyone with access to the category can read the note. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
