FS Search Tool

Search the filesystem: list directories, glob pattern match files, or grep file contents. Uses deepagents filesystem backend.

Path sandbox: all paths resolve inside the per-workflow workspace root. Use workspace-relative paths; .. and ~ segments are rejected, and absolute paths are remapped into the workspace.

Schema Fields

Field	Type	Required	Description
mode	string	No	ls (list directory), glob (pattern match), grep (search contents). Default: ls
path	string	No	Directory path to search in (default: .)
pattern	string	If glob/grep	Glob pattern (e.g., **/*.py) or grep search text
file_filter	string	No	Glob to filter files for grep mode (e.g., *.py)

Examples

List directory:

{"mode": "ls", "path": "/path/to/project"}

Find Python files:

{"mode": "glob", "path": ".", "pattern": "**/*.py"}

Search for a function:

{"mode": "grep", "path": ".", "pattern": "def my_function", "file_filter": "*.py"}

Find all config files:

{"mode": "glob", "path": "/etc", "pattern": "*.conf"}

Response Format

ls mode:

{
  "path": ".",
  "entries": [
    {"name": "src", "type": "dir", "size": null},
    {"name": "README.md", "type": "file", "size": 1234}
  ],
  "count": 2
}

glob mode:

{
  "path": ".",
  "pattern": "**/*.py",
  "matches": [{"path": "src/main.py"}, {"path": "tests/test_main.py"}],
  "count": 2
}

grep mode:

{
  "path": ".",
  "pattern": "def main",
  "matches": [
    {"path": "src/main.py", "line": 42, "text": "def main():"}
  ],
  "count": 1
}

Guidelines

1. Use ls to explore directory structure
2. Use glob to find files by name pattern (supports ** recursive, * wildcard, ? single char)
3. Use grep to search file contents (literal text, not regex)
4. Combine grep with file_filter to limit search scope
5. Results are capped at 500 matches for grep mode
