Effect: read (strongest supported action). Status: gated.

Gated means the tool requires an installed app, a connected account, permission, or runtime availability. Check those requirements on the listed platform before using it.

macOS

Purpose

Lists files and folders in a directory (Spotlight-free). Lists any folder on this Mac. Credential and identity locations (keychains, ~/.ssh, browser login stores, another user's home, Time Machine backups) are refused.

Required inputs

No required inputs are declared in this platform's schema. Optional selectors and runtime requirements may still apply.

Permissions and confirmation
