- File name
- Full path
- File size
- Creation date
- search-files: Searches for files matching a given path fragment.
- Takesqueryas a required string argument.
- Takesdirectoryas an optional string argument to specify the base directory for the search. If not provided, the search runs in the root directory.
- Returns a list of matching files with their metadata.
