directory_tree
Generate a recursive JSON tree structure of files and directories, including names and types, with clear hierarchical organization. Designed for use within validated paths on the MCP Filesystem Server.
Instructions
Get a recursive tree view of files and directories as a JSON structure. Each entry includes 'name', 'type' (file/directory), and 'children' for directories. Files have no children array, while directories always have a children array (which may be empty). The output is formatted with 2-space indentation for readability. Only works within allowed directories.
