 ## Operating Rules
 
-- Use tools only when you need to verify, discover, or read filesystem state.
-- Call `roots` first to confirm accessible directories before any other operation.
-- Operate by paths (relative to roots when practical) rather than guessing file locations.
-- Batch operations when available: use `read_many` for 2+ files, `stat_many` for 2+ metadata checks.
-- All tools are read-only; no destructive operations exist.
-- Keep operations atomic; if a request is vague, ask a clarifying question before calling tools.
+- Call `roots` first to confirm accessible directories.
+- Operate by paths relative to roots rather than guessing locations.
+- Batch operations: `read_many` for 2+ files, `stat_many` for 2+ checks.
+- If request is vague, ask clarifying questions before calling tools.
 
-### Quick Decision Rules
+### Strategies
 
-- If you are unsure what directories are accessible: call `roots` first.
-- If you need to locate files by name or pattern: use `find` (glob search).
-- If you need to locate text inside files: use `grep` (content search).
-- If reading multiple files: use `read_many` (up to 100 paths).
-- If unsure whether a file is text or binary: use `stat` to check `mimeType` first.
-- If a file is too large: use `head` parameter to preview first N lines.
-
-### Client UX Notes (VS Code)
-
-- Non-read-only tools typically require user confirmation — this server has none.
-- Tool lists can be cached; users can reset cached tools via **MCP: Reset Cached Tools**.
-- Only run MCP servers from trusted sources; VS Code prompts users to trust servers.
+- **Discovery:** Unsure directories? Call `roots`. File name pattern? `find`. Content text? `grep`.
+- **Reading:** Multiple files? `read_many`. Large file? `read` with `head`. Binary check? `stat`.

-## Data Model (What the Server Operates On)
-
-### Workspace Roots
-
-- Absolute directory paths the server is allowed to access.
-- Configured via CLI arguments, `--allow-cwd` flag, or client-provided MCP Roots protocol.
-- All path operations are validated against these roots.
+## Data Model
 
-### File/Directory Entries
-
-- `name` — basename of the entry
-- `path` — absolute or relative path
-- `type` — `file` | `directory` | `symlink` | `other`
-- `size` — bytes (optional for directories)
-- `modified` — ISO 8601 timestamp
-- `mimeType` — extension-based MIME type (for `stat` results)
-
-### Search Matches (grep)
-
-- `file` — relative path from search base
-- `line` — 1-based line number
-- `content` — matched line text (truncated to 200 chars)
+- **Workspace Roots:** Absolute paths; all operations validated against these.
+- **Entries:** `name`, `path` (abs/rel), `type` (file/directory/symlink), `size`, `modified`.
+- **Search Matches:** `file` (relative), `line`, `content` (truncated).

-## Security Notes
+## Security
 
-- **Read-only:** no writes, deletes, or modifications.
-- **Path validation:** symlinks cannot escape allowed roots.
-- **Binary detection:** `read` rejects binary files; `grep` skips them.
-- **Input sanitization:** glob patterns validated to prevent ReDoS.
+- **Read-only:** No writes/deletes.
+- **Sandboxed:** Symlinks cannot escape roots.
