Summarize a folder: what dominates it, how old everything is, and where the bulk sits.

Call this first. It returns a rollup rather than a file list, so it stays cheap on folders with tens of thousands of files. Follow with list_files to see individual files matching whatever the summary suggests is worth looking at.

Two things to keep in mind. Size does not imply disposability: large media is often what the user most wants to keep, so age matters more than size. And files matching identity, legal, tax, or medical naming are counted here but marked protected; never suggest removing them.

Cloud-synced folders, system folders, app bundles, and build directories are excluded; the output reports how many were skipped.

path: absolute path to the folder, for example /Users/you/Downloads max_depth: how many levels of subfolder to descend. Default 3.

List individual files in a folder, filtered by age, size, type, or subfolder.

Use after scan_folder to see the actual files behind a summary line, for example the ones not opened in over a year, or the largest videos.

Each row is: age since last opened, size, and path relative to the folder. A leading asterisk marks a protected file (identity, legal, tax, or medical naming). Report those if the user asked to see them, but never put them forward as something to delete or move.

Returns metadata only. This tool never reads file contents.

path: absolute path to the folder. not_opened_days: only files untouched for at least this many days. 0 for all. min_size_mb: only files at least this large. 0 for all. file_type: one of documents, spreadsheets, images, video, audio, archives, installers, code, other. Or a bare extension such as png. Empty for all. subfolder: restrict to one immediate subfolder by name. Empty for all. sort_by: size, oldest (least recently opened), or newest. Default size. limit: rows to return, capped at 100. Default 25.
