 4. **`list_files`**: List all paths for files in the specified directory. When `recursive = true`, it recursively lists all files in the directory and its nested folders (excludes files in .gitignore). When `recursive = false`, it lists only top-level files (useful for generic file operations like retrieving a file from your Desktop).

 8. **`attempt_completion`**: Present the result to the user after completing a task, potentially with a terminal command to kickoff a demonstration
