What does this PR do?
Adds a
copy_pathtool to the AI agent filesystem toolkit. It copies a file or an entire directory tree from a source path to a destination path without reading the content into the conversation context.shutil.copy2for files andshutil.copytree(withdirs_exist_ok=True) for directories.FileAccessPolicy: source must passassert_readable(if source is a directory, every child must pass it), destination must passassert_writable.Motivation
The OpenMetrics flow needs to copy files like
metrics.txtbetween working directories as part of its pipeline. Usingread_file+create_filefor this would pull potentially large or binary content into the agent's context window unnecessarily.copy_pathhandles the operation at the OS level, keeping the agent context clean and making binary-safe copies the default.Review checklist (to be filled by reviewers)
