+### Fixed
+- **`obsidian_create_note` parameter semantics**: Fixed issue #8 where ambiguous `path` description led callers to pass the full file path (including filename) in `path`, causing the CLI to misbehave and the `overwrite` flag to auto-suffix filenames instead of replacing them
+  - `name` is now clearly documented as the **filename only** (e.g. `"My Note.md"`)
+  - `path` is now clearly documented as the **folder only** (e.g. `"Projects/Work"`) — never include the filename
+  - Added `required: ['name']` to the input schema
