2. read_multiple_files: Read multiple files simultaneously

3. write_file: Create new file or overwrite existing

4. create_directory: Create new directory or ensure it exists

5. list_directory: List directory contents with [FILE] or [DIR] prefixes

6. move_file: Move or rename files and directories

7. search_files: Recursively search for files/directories
