# List Documents

`POST /documents`

List accessible documents.

`request.document_filters` may include the following operators in addition to equality checks (which also match
scalars inside JSON arrays): `$and`, `$or`, `$nor`, `$not`, `$in`, `$nin`, `$exists`, `$regex`, and `$contains`.
Filters can be nested arbitrarily. Regex filters accept the optional `i` flag; `$contains` performs substring
matches with optional `case_sensitive` overrides.
Example:

```json
{
  "$and": [
    {"department": "sales"},
    {"$or": [{"status": "approved"}, {"priority": {"$in": ["high", "urgent"]}}]}
  ]
}
```

Args:
    request: Request body containing filters and pagination
    auth: Authentication context
    folder_name: Optional folder to scope the operation to
    end_user_id: Optional end-user ID to scope the operation to

Returns:
    List[Document]: List of accessible documents
