## Message

```
Add contents_tool (#28738)

This is a combination of the "read file" and "list directory contents"
tools as part of a push to reduce our quantity of builtin tools by
combining some of them.

The functionality is all there for this tool, although there's room for
improvement on the visuals side: it currently always shows the same icon
and always says "Read" - so you can't tell at a glance when it's reading
a directory vs an individual file. Changing this will require a change
to the `Tool` trait, which can be in a separate PR. (FYI @danilo-leal!)
