SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

People often need a quick, reliable way to inspect a workspace, identifying each item by name, type, and size to inform decisions and actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enumerates files and directories with name, type, and size for a given path.
  • Scans a relative workspace path, returning a structured view to support auditing, onboarding, and automation.
  • Use Case: Quickly inventory a project directory to verify contents before a build or deployment.

Quick Start

List the contents of the 'projects/' directory in the current workspace.

FAQPage Schema
How do I list workspace files and directories to get their name, type, and size?▼

To list workspace files and directories, you specify a given relative path. The system returns structured metadata containing the name, type, and size of each item, enabling quick directory inventory and project folder auditing.

What is the best way to inventory a project directory before a build or deployment?▼

Inventorying a project directory requires scanning the target relative workspace path. This enumerates all files and folders, returning structured data with name, type, and size to verify contents and validate project structure before deployment.

Can I use relative paths to scan multiple workspace directories for auditing?▼

Yes, you can use deterministic relative paths to scan multiple workspace directories. The tool applies deterministic parameter handling to return structured views of files and folders, supporting onboarding and automation tasks across paths.

Does the directory listing tool return structured data suitable for downstream automation tooling?▼

Yes, the directory listing tool returns structured data suitable for downstream tooling. It enumerates workspace filesystems and outputs structured metadata, including name, type, and size, to support automation workflows and project folder validation.

What are the limitations when scanning a relative workspace path for filesystem metadata?▼

The tool scans relative workspace paths and returns basic name, type, and size metadata. It is designed for deterministic parameter handling and directory inventory, but does not perform deep filesystem operations or modify the workspace structure.
