Runtime description

The following is the tool's own agent-facing description, reproduced from the reviewed registry. It can contain implementation terminology; it does not expand the public stability commitment.

Find files by glob pattern (respects .gitignore; multi-root via paths).
For file CONTENT search use ctx_search.
