SecondBrain Knowledge Lookup

Answer the user's question by querying their personal vault. Use the MCP tools in this order:

1. Quick recall first — call secondbrain_recall with the user's query
2. If insufficient — call secondbrain_ask for full DataAgent synthesis
3. Cite sources — always mention the vault file path(s) where you found the answer
