FAQPage Schema
How do I list directory contents to reveal a project's file structure?

You can list directory contents by providing a target path, which returns file names, sizes, and modification times to reveal the filesystem layout for quick navigation and file discovery.

Can I inspect directories outside my current workspace?

Yes, you can inspect directories outside your current workspace because the tool supports global read permissions to locate files and verify paths across local or workspace directories.

What file details are returned when listing a directory?

Listing a directory returns file names, sizes, and modification times for both files and subdirectories, enabling you to verify file existence and explore project trees effectively.

Does listing directory contents work with glob and read_file operations?

Yes, listing directory contents integrates with glob and read_file for downstream operations, allowing you to locate targets within the filesystem and then read the specific files.

What is the best way to verify file existence across local directories?

The best way to verify file existence across local directories is to list the directory contents, which immediately returns file names and modification times to confirm paths without manual inspection.
