search_filesystem

Search for files and directories in the workspace filesystem using a case-insensitive pattern. Recursively scans subdirectories, returns matching paths, and supports excluding specific paths with glob patterns.

Instructions

Recursively search for files and directories within the workspace filesystem matching a pattern in their name. Searches through all subdirectories from the starting path. The search is case-insensitive and matches partial names. Returns full paths (relative to workspace) to all matching items. Supports excluding paths using glob patterns.
