  Detect which symbols were changed and compute their aggregate blast radius.

• embedding_health

  Check if the configured embedding provider is reachable.

• embedding_status

  Check embedding coverage and model info.

• find_dead_code

  Get detected functional communities (module clusters) in the call graph.

• get_community

  Get the community that a specific symbol belongs to, with all co-members.

• get_dependents

  Find all symbols that depend on (call/reference) a given symbol.

• get_execution_flows

  Get traced execution flows through the call graph.

• get_impact

  Compute blast radius and risk for modifying a symbol.

• get_implementors

  Find all classes that implement or inherit from an interface/base class.

• get_platform_variants

  Find platform-specific variants of a symbol.

• get_signature

• get_symbol

  Get full details of a symbol by name.

• get_tests_for

  Find test functions that cover a given symbol.

• get_type_hierarchy

  Get the inheritance hierarchy for a class or struct.

• git_hotspots

  Find most frequently changed files (churn hotspots / bug magnets).

• list_projects

  List all projects in the workspace with stats.

• platform_conditionals

  List all platform-conditional code blocks in the project.

• recent_changes

  Get recent git commits with files changed.

• record_learning

  Record a learning — a decision, correction, discovery, pattern, blocker, or convention.

• reindex

  Trigger re-indexing of the codebase or a specific path.

• relevant_learnings

  Find relevant learnings using hybrid search (keyword + semantic).

• restart_server

  Request the server to exit so a process manager can restart it (SSE only).

• search_symbols

  Search for code symbols (functions, classes, methods, structs, etc.).

• semantic_search

  Find semantically similar code using embeddings.

• server_stats

  Return when this server process started and how long it has been running.

• setup_guide

  Structured setup instructions for AI agents and users. Returns: how to add a workspace, connect Cursor, where config lives, how to index with embeddings, hook install.
