Question 4

How does Filesystem Light ensure security?

Accepted Answer

Security is paramount. Filesystem Light validates all paths against an allow-list, resolves and re-checks symlinks, and actively blocks path traversal attempts, ensuring only authorized access to your system.

Question 5

What is the 'Normalizer' feature and how does it benefit LLM interactions?

Accepted Answer

The Normalizer is an intelligent system that runs before every handler. It automates parameter aliases, performs type coercion, handles JSON inputs flexibly, fixes literal escapes, and ensures idempotent edits. This simplifies LLM tool calls and makes them more robust and forgiving.
