+### List Files and Folders
+
+List what is inside a workspace folder: its subfolders and its files together. Lists direct children by default; set Recursive to walk the whole subtree.
+
+#### Input
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
+| `path` | string | No | Folder to list. Omit to list from the workspace root. Canonical folder path, percent-encoded, e.g. "/Reports/Q3%20Results". The workspace root is "/". |
+| `recursive` | boolean | No | List everything beneath the path rather than only its direct children. Each entry carries its depth below the listed folder. |
+| `depth` | number | No | Deepest level to include when recursive, counted from the listed folder. 1 is direct children. |
+| `search` | string | No | Case-insensitive substring match against an entry name. Filters the result, so a deep match is still reported even when its parent folders do not match. |
+| `limit` | number | No | Most entries to return, 200 by default. A listing cut short comes back with truncated set. |
+
+#### Output
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | ----------- |
+| `path` | string | The folder that was listed. |
+| `entries` | array | What the folder holds. Each entry has kind "folder" or "file", a name, and its depth below the listed folder. A folder carries its own canonical path; a file carries its id, size, type, and the canonical path of the folder holding it. |
+| `truncated` | boolean | True when the limit cut the listing short, so more entries exist. |
+
+### Create File Folder
+
+Create a workspace file folder at a path. Parent folders are created as needed. Fails if a folder already exists at the path.
+
+#### Input
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
+| `path` | string | Yes | Path of the folder to create. Canonical folder path, percent-encoded, e.g. "/Reports/Q3%20Results". The workspace root is "/". |
+
+#### Output
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | ----------- |
+| `folder` | object | The created folder, with its name, canonical path, parent path, and timestamps. |
+
+### Move File Folder
+
+Move or rename a workspace file folder by giving its full destination path. Everything inside the folder moves with it.
+
+#### Input
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
+| `path` | string | Yes | Folder to move. Canonical folder path, percent-encoded, e.g. "/Reports/Q3%20Results". The workspace root is "/". |
+| `destinationPath` | string | Yes | Full path the folder should have afterwards. Renaming is a destination whose parent is unchanged. Canonical folder path, percent-encoded, e.g. "/Reports/Q3%20Results". The workspace root is "/". |
+
+#### Output
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | ----------- |
+| `folder` | object | The folder at its new path. |
+| `previousPath` | string | The path the folder had before the move. |
+
+### Delete File Folder
+
+Delete a workspace file folder. It moves to Recently deleted and can be brought back with Restore File Folder. Deleting a folder that still has contents requires the recursive option.
+
+#### Input
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
+| `path` | string | Yes | Folder to delete. Canonical folder path, percent-encoded, e.g. "/Reports/Q3%20Results". The workspace root is "/". |
+| `recursive` | boolean | No | Also delete the folder’s nested folders and files. Without it, deleting a non-empty folder fails. |
+
+#### Output
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | ----------- |
+| `path` | string | The folder that was deleted. |
+| `deleted` | boolean | Always true when the operation succeeded. |
+| `deletedItems` | object | Counts of the folders and files deleted alongside it. |
+
+### Restore File Folder
+
+Restore a deleted workspace file folder and its contents from Recently deleted. Addressed by folder ID, because a deleted folder has no live path.
+
+#### Input
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
+| `folderId` | string | Yes | ID of the deleted folder to restore. |
+
+#### Output
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | ----------- |
+| `folder` | object | The restored folder at its live path. |
+| `restoredItems` | object | Counts of the folders and files restored alongside it. |
+
+### Move File
+
+Move an existing workspace file into a folder. Moves the file itself; use Move File Folder to relocate a whole folder.
+
+#### Input
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | -------- | ----------- |
+| `fileId` | string | Yes | Canonical workspace file ID of the file to move. |
+| `folderPath` | string | No | Destination folder. Omit to move the file to the workspace root. Canonical folder path, percent-encoded, e.g. "/Reports/Q3%20Results". The workspace root is "/". |
+
+#### Output
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+| --------- | ---- | ----------- |
+| `fileId` | string | The file that was moved. |
+| `folderPath` | string | The folder the file now lives in. |
