Symvanta gives your AI coding agent your codebase's real call graph over MCP, so it stops guessing and knows what breaks before it edits. Do NOT shell out to grep, rg, find, cat, or ls on indexed repos. Use these tools (one call per question): behavior / 'how does X work' -> ask_codebase (scope:"all" cross-repo) symbol definition + signature -> find_node who calls X -> relate (kind:callers) what X depends on -> relate (kind:dependencies) what breaks if X changes -> relate (kind:blast_radius) what implements interface X -> relate (kind:implementers) type hierarchy of X -> relate (kind:heritage) trace polymorphism / DI, or class runtime order -> relate (kind:chain[, staysWithinClass:true]) how are X and Y connected -> relate (kind:path, selectors:[from, to]) literal identifier or string -> locate (mode:text; queries:[...] for several terms) HTTP route by path+method -> find_http_route env var / config key usage -> locate (mode:config; queries:[...] for several keys) repo or subtree skeleton -> map symbols in a file -> list_file_symbols what a diff / branch breaks -> diff_impact record/read the WHY (decisions) -> adr (op:record|list); find_node attaches them pattern discovery -> locate (mode:semantic) locate (mode:text) empty -> locate with no mode (auto-routes to semantic); never retry mode:text reworded Feedback: every ask_codebase answer carries an answer_id; report the outcome with feedback:{answerId,outcome:"useful"|"dead_end"|"corrected"} on any later tool call, and read the `lesson`/`lessons` hints on find_node / context / citations for known-good vs contested anchors. Source: the index returns filePath + line bounds + signature, not full source. Local Read only if the signature is insufficient; trust the live file over the index. Paths: every filePath is repo-relative logical (e.g. "src/user/email.js"), NOT "<repo>/<path>". Map it to your local layout before reading; pass the logical form for filePath inputs too. Branches: reads default to the default branch. Pin a feature branch with ref(op:"use", repository, branch), revert with ref(op:"clear"); the branch must be tracked first (same-repo PR, dashboard, or SessionStart hook). For UNCOMMITTED edits use ref(op:"index_working_tree", repository, changedFiles:[{path,content}]) to overlay + auto-pin (source and locate mode:semantic do NOT reflect it). commitSha overrides any pin. First call: init(repository:"owner/name") with your checkout's GitHub remote binds the session to the project holding it (calls without projectId then resolve there; ref op:"clear_project" unbinds). workspace.attached=false means this checkout is not indexed: attach it with add_repository (private repos: installation_id from list_installations), create_project first if it needs its own project, or work without the graph. Do not route an unattached checkout through the projects init lists.
