## MCP Tools: code-review-graph
|
|
|
|
**IMPORTANT: This project has a knowledge graph. ALWAYS use the
|
|
code-review-graph MCP tools BEFORE using Grep/Glob/Read 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` instead of Grep
|
|
- **Understanding impact**: `get_impact_radius` instead of manually tracing imports
|
|
- **Code review**: `detect_changes` + `get_review_context` instead of reading entire files
|
|
- **Finding relationships**: `query_graph` with callers_of/callees_of/imports_of/tests_for
|
|
- **Architecture questions**: `get_architecture_overview` + `list_communities`
|
|
|
|
Fall back to Grep/Glob/Read **only** when the graph doesn't cover what you need.

### Key Tools
|
|
|
|
| Tool | Use when |
|
|
|------|----------|
|
|
| `detect_changes` | Reviewing code changes — gives risk-scored analysis |
|
|
| `get_review_context` | Need source snippets for review — token-efficient |
|
|
| `get_impact_radius` | Understanding blast radius of a change |
|
|
| `get_affected_flows` | Finding which execution paths are impacted |
|
|
| `query_graph` | Tracing callers, callees, imports, tests, dependencies |
|
|
| `semantic_search_nodes` | Finding functions/classes by name or keyword |
|
|
| `get_architecture_overview` | Understanding high-level codebase structure |
|
|
| `refactor_tool` | Planning renames, finding 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.
