Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

Name	Description
list_dirA	List the contents of a directory (name, is_dir, size, mtime).
read_fileA	Read a file's contents. Text files are decoded with `encoding` (errors replaced). Set `binary=True` to get the raw bytes base64-encoded instead. Reads are capped at `max_bytes` to avoid dumping huge files into context.
statC	Fetch filesystem metadata for a path.
existsB	Check whether a path exists.
glob_searchA	Search for files matching a glob pattern (e.g. `*/.py`) under path.
write_fileB	Write text content to a file. Requires FS_READONLY=false.
mkdirB	Create a directory. Requires FS_READONLY=false.
deleteA	Delete a file, or a directory if recursive=True. Requires FS_READONLY=false.
moveB	Move/rename a file or directory. Requires FS_READONLY=false.
copyB	Copy a file, or a directory if recursive=True. Requires FS_READONLY=false.
