Use terminal_rg / terminal_glob for all filesystem search — your project tree as well as system configs, /var/log, /etc, archive contents. Teaches the rg vs glob vs terminal_exec("find/ls/du/tree") split, common rg flag combos for code/logs/configs, glob patterns for finding files by name, the rule that mtime/size/type predicate queries drop to terminal_exec("find ..."), and that for tree views or single-file stat info you should just use terminal_exec instead of inventing a tool. Read before…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Filesystem search
terminal-tools provides two structured search tools: `terminal_rg` (ripgrep for content) and `terminal_glob` (find files by name/glob). Predicate queries (mtime/size/type) and everything else (tree, stat, du) are just `terminal_exec`.
## When to use what
| Task | Tool |
|---|---|
| Find code/text matching a pattern (project tree or any path) | `terminal_rg` (gitignore-aware; defaults to your session workdir) |
| Find files by name/glob (any path) | `terminal_glob` |
| Find files by mtime/size/type predicate | `terminal_exec("find ...")` (see references/find_predicates.md) |
| List a directory | `terminal_exec("ls -la /path")` |
| Tree view | `terminal_exec("tree -L 2 /path")` |
| Single-path stat | `terminal_exec("stat /path")` |
| Disk usage | `terminal_exec("du -sh /path")` or `terminal_exec("du -h --max-depth=2 /")` |
| Count matching lines in returned results | `terminal_rg(...).total` (check `truncated` before treating it as complete) |
## `terminal_rg` — content search

How to install
mdr add aden-hive/hive/hive.terminal-tools-fs-search@sha256:43ee5d53deb0d5f4The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
