1//! WriteFile tool implementation
2//!
3//! This tool allows the LLM to write files to the local filesystem.
4//! It integrates with the PermissionRegistry to require user approval
5//! before performing write operations.

25
26Usage:
27- The file_path parameter must be an absolute path, not a relative path
28- This tool will overwrite the existing file if there is one at the provided path
29- Parent directories will be created automatically if they don't exist
30- Requires user permission before writing (may be cached for session)
31
32Returns:
33- Success message with bytes written on successful write
34- Error message if permission is denied or the operation fails"#;
