+    """List directory contents from the knowledge base with optional filtering.
+
+    This tool provides 'ls' functionality for browsing the knowledge base directory structure.
+    It can list immediate children or recursively explore subdirectories with depth control,
+    and supports glob pattern filtering for finding specific files.
+
+    Args:
+        dir_name: Directory path to list (default: root "/")
+                 Examples: "/", "/projects", "/research/ml"
+        depth: Recursion depth (1-10, default: 1 for immediate children only)
+               Higher values show subdirectory contents recursively
+        file_name_glob: Optional glob pattern for filtering file names
+                       Examples: "*.md", "*meeting*", "project_*"
+        project: Project name to list directory from. Optional - server will resolve using hierarchy.
+                If unknown, use list_memory_projects() to discover available projects.
+        context: Optional FastMCP context for performance caching.
+
+    Returns:
+        Formatted listing of directory contents with file metadata
+
+    Examples:
+        # List root directory contents
+        list_directory()
+
+        # List specific folder
+        list_directory(dir_name="/projects")
+
+        # Find all markdown files
+        list_directory(file_name_glob="*.md")
+
+        # Deep exploration of research folder
+        list_directory(dir_name="/research", depth=3)
+
+        # Find meeting notes in projects folder
+        list_directory(dir_name="/projects", file_name_glob="*meeting*")
+
+        # Explicit project specification
+        list_directory(project="work-docs", dir_name="/projects")
