Register multiple tools in one Notion Worker so your Custom Agent can do more than one thing

A Notion Custom Agent wired to a single `worker.tool()` hits a ceiling fast — real PM workflows need both lookup and write operations in the same conversation. This tip shows how to register two `worker.tool()` calls in one `src/index.ts`: a read-only `lookupRoadmapItem` (auto-executes via `readOnlyHint: true`) and a write `flagAsBlocked` (gates on confirmation). The Custom Agent routes between them automatically using LLM function-calling. One `ntn workers deploy` covers both.

Give your Notion Custom Agent a real data tool with `worker.tool()`

Custom Agents can't see your Notion databases by default — they can only reason over text already in the conversation. `worker.tool()` registers a TypeScript function in Notion's hosted runtime that the agent can call on-demand with typed arguments. This tip walks through building a `querySprintDatabase` tool: scaffold, schema with the `j` builder, `readOnlyHint` for auto-execution, local dry-run, deploy in 30 seconds, and connect to a Custom Agent via the "+ Add connection" UI. Free through August 11, 2026; Business/Enterprise plan required.

Turn meeting notes into action items automatically with Notion Workers + Claude

Notion Workers (launched May 13, 2026; free beta through August 11) lets you deploy a ~100-line TypeScript webhook that fires whenever a meeting notes page is updated, sends the content to Claude Sonnet 4.6, and writes structured action items — task, due date, priority, source back-link — directly into a Notion database. No external servers, no Zapier, no Make. Total cost: ~$0.0038 per meeting note. Requires Notion Business or Enterprise plan. Covers full 7-step implementation, prerequisites table, idempotency guard, nested-block caveat, and cost-cliff warning for August.
