** Use code-review-graph MCP tools for token-efficient codebase exploration and code review.

MCP Tools: code-review-graph

IMPORTANT: This project has a knowledge graph. ALWAYS use the code-review-graph MCP tools BEFORE using file/search tools to explore the codebase. The graph is faster, cheaper (fewer tokens), and gives you structural context (callers, dependents, test coverage) that file scanning cannot.

When to use graph tools FIRST

  • Exploring code: semantic_search_nodes or query_graph
  • Understanding impact: get_impact_radius
  • Code review: detect_changes + get_review_context
  • Finding relationships: query_graph callers_of/callees_of
  • Architecture questions: get_architecture_overview

Fall back to file/search tools only when the graph doesn't cover what you need.

Key Tools

Tool Use when
detect_changes Risk-scored change analysis
get_review_context Token-efficient source snippets
get_impact_radius Blast radius of a change
get_affected_flows Impacted execution paths
query_graph Trace callers, callees, imports, tests
semantic_search_nodes Find functions/classes by keyword
get_architecture_overview High-level structure
refactor_tool Rename planning, dead code

Workflow

  1. The graph auto-updates on file changes (via hooks).
  2. Use detect_changes for code review.
  3. Use get_affected_flows to understand impact.
  4. Use query_graph pattern="tests_for" to check coverage.
