query_docs_filesystem_n_top
Run a read-only shell-like query against a virtualized, in-memory filesystem rooted at / that contains ONLY the nTop documentation pages and OpenAPI specs. This is NOT a shell on any real machine — nothing runs on the user's computer, the server host, or any network. The filesystem is a sandbox backed by documentation chunks.
This is how you read documentation pages: there is no separate "get page" tool. To read a page, pass its .mdx path (e.g. /quickstart.mdx, /api-reference/create-customer.mdx) to head or cat. To search the docs with exact keyword or regex matches, use rg. To understand the docs structure, use tree or ls.
Workflow: Start with the search tool for broad or conceptual queries like "how to authenticate" or "rate limiting". Use this tool when you need exact keyword/regex matching, structural exploration, or to read the full content of a specific page by path.
Supported commands: rg (ripgrep), grep, find, tree, ls, cat, head, tail, stat, wc, sort, uniq, cut, sed, awk, jq, plus basic text utilities. No writes, no network, no process control. Run --help on any command for usage.
Each call is STATELESS: the working directory always resets to / and no shell variables, aliases, or history carry over between calls. If you need to operate in a subdirectory, chain commands in one call with && or pass absolute paths (e.g., cd /api-reference && ls or ls /api-reference). Do NOT assume that cd in one call affects the next call.
Examples:
tree / -L 2— see the top-level directory layoutrg -il "rate limit" /— find all files mentioning "rate limit"rg -C 3 "apiKey" /api-reference/— show matches with 3 lines of context around each hithead -80 /quickstart.mdx— read the top 80 lines of a specific pagehead -80 /quickstart.mdx /installation.mdx /guides/first-deploy.mdx— read multiple pages in one callcat /api-reference/create-customer.mdx— read a full page when you need everythingcat /openapi/spec.json | jq '.paths | keys'— list OpenAPI endpoints
Output is truncated to 30KB per call. Prefer targeted rg -C or head -N over broad cat on large files. To read only the relevant sections of a large file, use rg -C 3 "pattern" /path/file.mdx. Batch multiple file reads into a single head or cat call whenever possible.
When referencing pages in your response to the user, convert filesystem paths to URL paths by removing the .mdx extension. For example, /quickstart.mdx becomes /quickstart and /api-reference/overview.mdx becomes /api-reference/overview.
