# Long path checker - Human page: https://happytails.ai/en/developer-tools/long-path-checker/ - Markdown: https://happytails.ai/en/developer-tools/long-path-checker.md - Structured JSON: https://happytails.ai/agents/en/developer-tools/long-path-checker/index.json - Visibility: public ## Tool capabilities | Property | Value | | --- | --- | | Tool ID | `long-path-checker` | | Category | developer-tools | | Implementation | Registered implementation. Registration alone is not a production-quality guarantee. | | Browser execution | Use the visible action or interactive controls. | | Browser processing | Browser; see tool notes for network behavior. | | HTTP API | Not callable through HTTP. | | Browser-agent interface | run_current_tool | ### Implementation notes Inspect names, relative paths and file sizes locally. No file contents are read. Empty folders and inaccessible entries are not exposed by the browser folder picker. ### Inputs and settings No free-text input is required. Use the file inputs and/or settings below. Accepted browser files: `See implementation notes`. Multiple files are supported. Browser file-input limit: no total size limit. HTTP limits can differ. | Setting | Meaning | Control type | Default | Constraints | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `platform` | Destination path rules | select | "Windows legacy" | Allowed: Windows legacy, Windows extended path, POSIX UTF-8, Custom UTF-16, Custom UTF-8 | | `base` | Destination folder | text | "C:\\Destination" | | | `limit` | Custom maximum path length | number | 259 | min=1 max=100000 | | `componentLimit` | Custom maximum name length | number | 255 | min=1 max=100000 | ### Browser-agent workflow 1. Open the human page in a browser that supports WebMCP. 2. Discover the interface exposed by that page; use its actual schema. 3. Select files on the page first when the tool requires files. 4. Call `run_current_tool` with valid input and settings. 5. Inspect the returned result or error and the displayed output. Retrieve files from the displayed download links. Calls do not automatically copy or download results. Browser permissions still apply. Interface availability alone is not proof of successful execution. ### Planning specification Up to 2,000 files. Windows values use UTF-16 code units, and POSIX values use UTF-8 bytes. Limits exclude a terminating NUL. The selected root is replaced by your destination base. Actual filesystem and application limits can differ. This describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support. ### Complete machine-readable capability record ```json { "id": "long-path-checker", "category": "developer-tools", "built": true, "requirements": "Up to 2,000 files.

Choose the folder you want to inspect. 2. Review the options and run the check. 3. Read the result and download the report. ## Useful next steps - [Unicode filename collision checker](https://happytails.ai/en/developer-tools/unicode-filename-collision-checker/) ([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/developer-tools/unicode-filename-collision-checker.md)) - [Folder tree exporter](https://happytails.ai/en/developer-tools/folder-tree-exporter/) ([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/developer-tools/folder-tree-exporter.md)) - [File hash](https://happytails.ai/en/developer-tools/file-hash/) ([Markdown](https://happytails.ai/en/developer-tools/file-hash.md)) ## Choose one local folder Use the folder picker and confirm the files you want to inspect. Nested paths are preserved. Choosing another folder replaces the selection. ### Review the result Measure every selected path against a destination folder and common or custom length limits. ### Download your report Save the report or manifest to keep the results. Your source files are unchanged, and the processing stays in your browser.
