docs: clarify get_file_names_tool returns files only, not folders - #309
Merged
Conversation
Make the tool description explicit that the tool lists only regular files and never includes folders/subdirectories, so the agent does not try to use it to discover or navigate directories. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Adjusts the tool description of
ComputerGetFileNamesTool(get_file_names_tool) to make it explicit that the tool returns only files and does not include folders/subdirectories in its result.Why
The previous wording mentioned subdirectories were not included, but it was easy for the agent to overlook. This makes it unambiguous that the tool cannot be used to discover or navigate directories, so the agent doesn't attempt to list folders with it.
Before
After
Description-only change; no behavior change.
