Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| read_fileA | Reads and returns the full text content of a file. The path must be relative to the server's sandboxed root directory. Returns an error if the file does not exist, is not readable as text, or resolves outside the sandbox. |
| list_directoryA | Lists the contents of a directory within the sandbox. Returns file and folder names, with folders marked so they can be told apart from files. If no path is given, lists the sandbox root directory. |
| write_file | Writes text content to a file within the sandbox. If the file already exists, it will only be overwritten if 'overwrite' is set to true — otherwise this returns an error to avoid accidental data loss. Missing parent directories are created automatically. |
| search_files | Searches for files within the sandbox, recursively through all subdirectories. Can match by filename pattern (e.g. '*.txt'), by text found inside file contents, or both — at least one of 'pattern' or 'contains' must be given. Returns up to 100 matching file paths; if more exist, the result notes that matches were truncated. |
