Output Format

Directory listings return structured data:

{
  "path": "/Game/Blueprints",
  "contents": [
    {"name": "BP_Player", "type": "Blueprint", "path": "/Game/Blueprints/BP_Player"},
    {"name": "BP_Enemy", "type": "Blueprint", "path": "/Game/Blueprints/BP_Enemy"},
    {"name": "Items", "type": "Folder", "path": "/Game/Blueprints/Items"}
  ]
}

Code searches return matches with context:

{
  "pattern": "TakeDamage",
  "matches": [
    {"file": "HealthComponent.cpp", "line": 45, "context": "void UHealthComponent::TakeDamage(float Amount)"},
    {"file": "Enemy.cpp", "line": 123, "context": "HealthComp->TakeDamage(DamageAmount);"}
  ]
}

Use Cases

Project Onboarding

User: Help me understand this project
Agent: Let me explore the structure...
[Lists /Game]
Agent: I see folders for Blueprints, Materials, UI, and Data. Let me look deeper...
[Lists each folder]
Agent: This appears to be a third-person game with Character Blueprints, a UI system, and DataTable-driven content...

Finding Existing Patterns

User: Add enemy spawning like the item spawner
Agent: Let me find the item spawner...
[Searches for "ItemSpawner"]
Agent: Found BP_ItemSpawner. Let me read its structure to understand the pattern...
