grep

Grep Tool

Search file contents with regex. Uses ripgrep.

REQUIRED: pattern (regex pattern) OPTIONAL: path (directory/file), glob (file glob filter like "*.py"), ignoreCase (bool), literal (bool — treat pattern as literal text), context (lines of context before/after), limit (max matches, default 100)

RULES:

• Supports full regex syntax (unless literal: true)
• Use glob to filter by file type (e.g. ".py", ".js")
• Use limit to cap results; default 100
• Returns matching lines with file path and line number
• Good for finding function definitions, imports, references
