MCP tools
| Tool | What it answers |
|---|---|
backend_report | Route-granular backend intelligence |
blast_radius | What depends on a file or symbol, and how risky changing it is |
breaking_change_hints | Heuristic hints about what a change to this target could break for consumers — exported surface, widely imported modules, public entrypoints |
dependency_cycles | Import and re-export cycles, each returned as the list of files forming the loop |
dependency_graph | The import/re-export dependency graph, at file level or aggregated to packages |
dependency_route | Show how one file or symbol reaches another through the dependency graph, with alternative paths |
engineering_health | The deep engineering view |
explain_area | Explain what a module or folder does |
explore_code | Everything about one file or symbol in a single call |
feature_graph | Inferred features and how they depend on each other |
find_references | Find resolved references to a symbol — who actually calls or imports it |
find_symbol | Find indexed symbols by name, optionally narrowed by file or kind |
health_history | Health score over time from stored index snapshots and optional git backfill |
knowledge_graph | The symbol-level graph — declarations and the references between them — with summary stats |
landmarks | Named entrypoints, package roots and feature anchors — the places a human would open first |
list_features | Inferred features with their member files and a confidence score |
list_packages | List the packages in a monorepo with their roots |
rename_impact | Every edit site a rename would touch, plus breaking-change hints for public surface |
