MCP tools · 11 exposed · ~954 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
budget_reset ~27

Zeroes the per-session and per-day token counters. Use after intentionally clearing a budget breach.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

budget_status ~87

Reports the current per-session and per-day token consumption against configured caps. Caps are set via budgetCaps in .optimizerrc.json or AI_OPTIMIZER_BUDGET_PER_SESSION / AI_OPTIMIZER_BUDGET_PER_DAY env vars. When a cap is exceeded, optimized_read_file / list_files / grep / diagnostics refuse new calls until reset or until UTC midnight (day cap).

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_optimizer_config ~53

Returns the merged effective configuration: defaults overridden by user-global config, then project .optimizerrc.json, then env vars. Use to check whether scheduling, work-stealing, telemetry, etc. are currently enabled.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

optimized_diagnostics ~103

Returns errors and warnings from the language server for a single file, plus narrow code slices around each diagnostic. Use this BEFORE calling optimized_read_file when the agent is trying to fix an error — it returns ~10 lines of context around each issue instead of the whole file. Detected frameworks: javascript

NameTypeReqDescription
contextLinesintegerLines of context around each diagnostic (default 10)
pathstringyesPath to the file, relative to project root

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

optimized_grep ~119

Search file contents for a regex, scoped by directory and optional file glob, applying framework-aware ignore filters. Skips files larger than 2MB and caps at 100 matches. Detected frameworks: javascript

NameTypeReqDescription
directorystringDirectory to search, relative to project root
filePatternstringOptional glob pattern to filter files, e.g. "**/*.ts"
flagsstringRegex flags, e.g. "i" for case-insensitive
patternstringyesRegex pattern to search for

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

optimized_list_files ~89

List files in a directory with framework-aware ignore filtering. Skips node_modules, .venv, build/, dist/, generated files, etc. Optionally pass a glob pattern to narrow results. Detected frameworks: javascript

NameTypeReqDescription
directorystringDirectory to list, relative to project root
patternstringOptional glob pattern to filter results, e.g. "**/*.ts"

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

optimized_read_file ~121

Read a file from the workspace with framework-aware filtering. Skips files matching framework ignore patterns or .gitignore. Use this instead of the built-in Read tool to reduce token usage. Optionally pass startLine/endLine (1-indexed, inclusive) to read only a slice. Detected frameworks: javascript

NameTypeReqDescription
endLineinteger1-indexed end line (inclusive)
pathstringyesPath to the file, relative to the project root
startLineinteger1-indexed start line (inclusive)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

optimizer_status ~29

Returns active framework packs, detected project type, gitignore status, and cumulative token savings for this session.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

read_symbol ~166

Resolves a symbol name (e.g. "UserRepository.getUser", "users::repository::get") via the language server's workspace/symbol API and returns just the symbol body. Use this when you need a function or class definition but not the rest of the file. Falls back to no-match when the LSP can't resolve the symbol. Detected frameworks: javascript

NameTypeReqDescription
contextLinesintegerLines of context to include before + after each symbol body
includeImportsbooleanPrepend leading imports / package / use lines from the file
maxMatchesintegerCap on number of symbol matches returned (default 5)
querystringyesSymbol name, optionally container-qualified (Foo.bar / Foo::bar / Foo#bar)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

set_optimizer_config ~93

Writes a partial config patch to the project-level .optimizerrc.json (merging with whatever is already there). User-global config and env vars are NOT modified — those are managed out-of-band. Behavior-changing flags (scheduling, workStealing, telemetry) require explicit opt-in via this tool — they are off by default.

NameTypeReqDescription
patchobjectyesPartial OptimizerConfig to merge into project config

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

strip_bash_noise ~67

Removes ANSI color codes, npm/maven/gradle progress lines, JVM reflective-access warnings, and collapses carriage-return progress bars. Pass the raw stdout/stderr from a Bash tool call here BEFORE keeping it in context.

NameTypeReqDescription
outputstringyesRaw shell output to clean

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
