`notes_open`

Go to a screen in Notes on the iPhone by code, with no taps from you (your folders, a folder, a search, or one note by its title). For an act it names the control and never taps it. Acts on the device. Arguments

Name	Type	Default	Description
`where`	string	required	Where to go in Notes: folders, search, note, folder, with a name, @user, words or a link where one is needed (“thread Sam Lee”, “profile @nasa”). An act’s place () names its control and never taps it. At most 200 characters.
`device`	string	see description	The device’s name or id from `list_devices` (or leave it out for the server’s default device).
`run_id`	string		A check’s run id from `verify_start`, to drive its device instead.

Example

tools/call params
