Debug Issue

Use the knowledge graph to systematically trace and debug issues.

Steps

1. Use semantic_search_nodes to find code related to the issue.
2. Use query_graph with callers_of and callees_of to trace call chains.
3. Use get_flow to see full execution paths through suspected areas.
4. Run detect_changes to check if recent changes caused the issue.
5. Use get_impact_radius on suspected files to see what else is affected.

Tips

• Check both callers and callees to understand the full context.
• Look at affected flows to find the entry point that triggers the bug.
• Recent changes are the most common source of new issues.

Token Efficiency Rules

• ALWAYS start with get_minimal_context(task="<your task>") before any other graph tool.
• Use detail_level="minimal" on all calls. Only escalate to "standard" when minimal is insufficient.
• Target: complete any review/debug/refactor task in ≤5 tool calls and ≤800 total output tokens.
