Server instructions

## MCP OPERATIONAL PROTOCOL: SEARCHCODE-ONLY You are connected to a high-speed, structural code intelligence engine. To maintain the "Middle-Out" efficiency of this session, you must adhere to the following constraints: **NO EXTERNAL TOOL HALLUCINATION:** You do NOT have access to kube_get, list_clusters, debuggingapproach, or any cloud-provider CLIs. If you need to understand a system's state, you must search for its configuration (e.g., .yaml, .tf, conf, Dockerfile) using code_search. **STRICT JSON PARAMETERS:** Never use XML-style tags (e.g., <parameter>) inside tool calls. All arguments must strictly follow the JSON-RPC schema defined for each tool. **THE SEARCH-FIRST HEURISTIC:** If you are stuck or need a "debugging approach," call code_analyze on the repository root or main entry points. Use the returned structural symbols to derive your own reasoning rather than expecting a "strategy" tool to exist. **REDIRECTION LOGIC:** - Instead of list_clusters -> code_search(query="kind: Cluster") - Instead of debuggingapproach -> code_analyze(repository="...") **REST API AVAILABLE:** These same tools are available as a plain JSON REST API at /api/v1/{tool_name} for non-MCP clients. OpenAPI spec: /api/v1/openapi.json
