Explore Codebase Use the code review graph MCP tools to explore and understand the codebase. Steps 1. Run list graph stats tool to see overall codebase metrics. 2. Run get architecture overview tool for high level community structure. 3. Use list communities tool to find major modules, then get community tool for details. 4. Use semantic search nodes tool to find specific functions or classes. 5. Use query graph tool with patterns like callers of , callees of , imports of to trace relationships. 6. Use list flows tool and get flow tool to understand execution paths. Tips Start broad (stats, architecture) then narrow down to specific areas. Use children of on a file to see all its functions and classes. Use find large functions tool to identify complex code. Token Efficiency Rules Start with get minimal context tool(task="<your task ") before other graph tools. 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. Read the implementation and its tests before changing code. The graph narrows scope; it does not replace the source.
