## MCP tools (1)

### `extract_paths` (~226 tokens)

Extract every file and directory path from a document, with its kind and 1-based line and column. Reads JSON, YAML, TOML, CSV, dotenv, JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS with a parser for that format, and anything else — Python, Go, Markdown, a Dockerfile — by scanning its text, which finds paths that carry a separator or a quoted filename. Each path is classified as file, relative, absolute or url. Paths are reported as written — nothing is resolved against a workspace or the filesystem.

Input parameters:

- `content` (string, required): The document text to scan.
- `dedupe` (boolean): Collapse repeated paths to their first occurrence.
- `filename` (string): Filename used to infer the format when `format` is absent, e.g. "tsconfig.json".
- `format` (string): Document format. Common extensions and aliases are accepted. Omit it and `filename` to scan the text generically.
- `maxResults` (integer): Cap on returned paths (default 500). meta.truncated reports whether any were dropped.
