Description
Added a search_in_files features and other changes to due issues seen during usage with a LangGraph workflow.
Server Details
list_allowed_directories
as AWS Nova kept limiting the files to only the top-level folderMotivation and Context
Encountered a few issues using the tool in an LangGraph workflow. Needed the ability to search for files of interest based on contents not just file name. Also encountered cases where the model thought it was only allowed to search the top-level allowed directories not any sub-directories.
How Has This Been Tested?
I have used the updated package in several workflows. Some testing in MCP Inspector. No specific unit tests
