Best Practices

1. Always Check Success

   • Verify

     success: true

     in response
   • Handle errors appropriately

2. Use Appropriate Timeouts

   • Quick operations: 10-30s
   • File scans: 60-120s
   • Network operations: 30-60s

3. Security Considerations

   • Don't write sensitive data to world-readable paths
   • Clear temp files after use
   • Log all operations for audit trail

4. Error Handling

   {
       "success": true,
       "result": "<operation result>"
   }
   

   Or on failure:

   {
       "success": false,
       "error": "error message"
   }
   

Common Error Codes

Error	Cause	Solution
"未知操作"	Invalid action name	Check available_actions
"Permission denied"	Insufficient privileges	Run with elevated permissions
"File not found"	Path doesn't exist	Verify path with path_exists
"Access denied"	Protected resource	Check file/directory permissions
"Command timeout"	Operation took too long	Increase timeout value

Nested Parameters

Some actions accept additional parameters in a

kwargs

object:

{
    "action": "list_files",
    "kwargs": {
        "path": "C:\\temp",
        "recursive": false
    }
}

This format is automatically handled by the tool.
