get_file_info

Retrieve detailed file or directory metadata, including size, permissions, type, and text-specific details like line count and append position. Works within allowed directories; requires absolute paths for reliability.

Instructions

                    Retrieve detailed metadata about a file or directory including:
                    - size
                    - creation time
                    - last modified time 
                    - permissions
                    - type
                    - lineCount (for text files)
                    - lastLine (zero-indexed number of last line, for text files)
                    - appendPosition (line number for appending, for text files)
                    
                    Only works within allowed directories.
                    
                    IMPORTANT: Always use absolute paths (starting with '/' or drive letter like 'C:\') for reliability. Relative paths may fail as they depend on the current working directory. Tilde paths (~/...) might not work in all contexts. Unless the user explicitly asks for relative paths, use absolute paths.
