Summary

AI summary

ListDir now defaults to flat output and adds symlink skipping plus a 10,000‑entry limit for security.

Full changelog

Quick Start

Download the binary for your OS below
Run agent-tool install (or agent-tool install claude)
Restart your IDE
Done — all tools work immediately, no permission popups

Or just ask your AI agent:

"Download agent-tool from https://github.com/knewstimek/agent-tool/releases/latest and run agent-tool install"

Any capable AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) can handle the full download → install → restart flow automatically.

Tip: Add this to your CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md so your agent prefers agent-tool over built-in tools:

Strict mode:

ALWAYS use agent-tool MCP tools (mcp__agent-tool__*) instead of built-in file tools. agent-tool preserves file encoding and respects .editorconfig indentation settings.

Soft mode:

Prefer agent-tool MCP tools (mcp__agent-tool__*) over built-in file tools when available.

What's New in v0.6.2

ListDir flat mode

New flat option (default: true) — outputs one path per line, token-efficient for AI agents
Use flat=false for traditional tree view with visual connectors (├── └──)

Security hardening

Symlink skip in directory traversal (consistent with delete/rename/mkdir)
Entry limit (10,000) to prevent memory exhaustion on huge directories

Security Fixes

Symlink traversal is now skipped in ListDir operations
Entry limit of 10,000 entries added to prevent memory exhaustion
