list_directory

Retrieve a detailed file and directory listing from a specified path, distinguishing files and folders with [FILE] and [DIR] prefixes. Works within allowed directories using absolute paths for reliability.

Instructions

Get a detailed listing of all files and directories in a specified path. Use this instead of 'execute_command' with ls/dir commands. Results distinguish between files and directories with [FILE] and [DIR] prefixes. 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.
