Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_filesA | List files and folders inside the sandbox root (or a subdirectory). Args: subdir: Path relative to the root. Use "." for the root itself. |
| read_fileB | Read the contents of a text file inside the sandbox root. Args: path: File path relative to the root. |
| search_filesA | Search for a plain-text string across text files (case-insensitive). Returns matching lines with their file path and line number. Args: query: The text to search for. subdir: Limit the search to this subdirectory. Use "." for everything. max_results: Stop after this many matching lines. 0 uses the server default. |
| file_statsA | Report quick stats for a file (lines/words/chars) or a directory (file count and total size). Args: path: File or directory relative to the root. |
| read_linesA | Read a slice of lines from a text file — useful for files too large for read_file to return whole. Args: path: File path relative to the root. start: First line to read (1-based). end: Last line to read (inclusive). 0 means "to end of file". |
| find_filesA | Find files by name pattern (glob), e.g. ".py" or "test_". Args: pattern: A glob pattern matched against file names. subdir: Limit the search to this subdirectory. Use "." for everything. |
| write_fileA | Create or overwrite a text file inside the sandbox root. Disabled unless the server was started with AB_MCP_ALLOW_WRITE enabled. Args: path: File path relative to the root. content: The full text to write. |
