How do I provide a directory as part and its files recursively

[mxab]

Hi,

I want to build a agent that looks at a bunch of files.

- foo.txt
- bar/
   - baz.txt
   - more.txt
   - even/
      - more/
         - stuff.txt
....

If I understand it correctly I would need to provide the files in the part section of the message types.Content(role="user", parts=parts)

Let's say I have a dir called /some/path/to/the/dir how would I attach/provide the files to the request while somehow provideing the directory structure? Do I need to provide some metadata for each file part? or would I tar it before and upload only one file?
