Tool to check for directory -mkdir tool call could use either repair or to be allowed or not #531

Description

Summary

Had a case where DeepkSeep 4 Pro tried to see if a directory exist via mkdir -p which raised error:

 BASH  [{"command":"mkdir -p /Users/me/projects/some/project/docs","description":"Ensure docs directory exists"}]
 └ Error: Tool "bash" not found. Available tools: read_file, edit_file, read_directory, write_file, read_multiple_files, grep, glob, shell_command,
   monitor_command, monitor_events, shell_tasks, todo_write, ask_user_question, kill_shell, exit_plan_mode, enter_plan_mode, diagnostics, get_self_knowledge,
   web_search, web_fetch, explore, plan

✻ Thought for 1 second
  I need to use shell_command instead of bash. Let me also use the todo_write to track progress.```

Probably don't want to allow (maybe?) but it can use shell instead?


### Expected Behavior

Some safe way to check if directory exists but not create directory if not allowed; unsure of proper permissions.

### Actual Behavior

Error it tool call.

### Steps to reproduce the issue

I had the agent try to write up a guide in a /docs directory so it decided to see if the directory existed first.
