get_directory_tree

Generate a JSON-structured tree view of files and directories within the workspace filesystem. Specify a root path to visualize project directory hierarchy, including details like 'name', 'type', and nested 'children'.

Instructions

Get a recursive tree view of files and directories within the workspace filesystem as a JSON structure. Each entry includes 'name', 'type' (file/directory), and 'children' (an array) for directories. Files have no 'children' array. The output is formatted JSON text. Useful for understanding the complete structure of a project directory.
