+## Filtering by Source Folder
+
+The `knowledge_search` tool supports filtering results by source folder:
+
+```python
+# Search all folders
+knowledge_search(query="what is a savings account?")
+
+# Search only in specific folders
+knowledge_search(
+    query="what is a savings account?",
+    source_folders=["Educacion Financiera", "Productos y Servicios"]
