Debug Issue

Debug Issue

Trace a bug through the knowledge graph before reading source.

Steps

1. Call semantic_search_nodes_tool to find code related to the issue.
2. Call query_graph_tool with callers_of and callees_of to trace the call chain in both directions.
3. Call get_flow_tool for the execution path that reaches the suspect code. Its entry point is where the bug is triggered.
4. Call detect_changes_tool to check whether a recent change caused the issue.
5. Call get_impact_radius_tool on the suspect files to see what a fix would affect.

Token Efficiency Rules

• Call get_minimal_context_tool(task="<your task>") before any other graph tool.
• Pass detail_level="minimal" wherever a tool accepts it. Use "standard" only when minimal is not enough.
• Prefer a targeted query_graph_tool call over a broad listing call.
• Budget: about five tool calls and 800 tokens of graph output per task.
• Read the implementation and its tests before changing code. The graph narrows scope; it does not replace the source.
