Use Cases

Reads the entire content of a specified file as UTF-8 text. Accepts relative or absolute paths. Relative paths are resolved against the session default set by 'set_filesystem_default'.

Writes content to a specified file. Creates the file (and necessary directories) if it doesn't exist, or overwrites it if it does. Accepts relative or absolute paths (resolved like readFile).
Performs targeted search-and-replace operations within an existing file using an array of {search, replace} blocks. Preferred for smaller, localized changes. For large-scale updates or overwrites, con
Lists files and directories within the specified directory. Optionally lists recursively and returns a tree-like structure. Includes an optional 'maxEntries' parameter (default 50) to limit the number
