## MCP tools (2)

### `search_decisions` (~180 tokens)

Search the Tently decision store — the same ratified decisions the PR review gate enforces (architecture boundaries, code-shape conventions, process rules). Each hit is marked BLOCKING (violating it breaks something) or ADVISORY (violating it just makes the code worse). Call this BEFORE writing or changing code in an area to surface constraints and exemplars that apply, so you build with the grain instead of triggering a review finding later. Pass the paths you are about to touch to scope retrieval.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Max decisions to return (1-50, default server-side).
- `paths` (array): Repo-relative paths or globs you are editing, to scope the search.
- `query` (string, required): What you are about to do, in natural language (e.g. "add a repository method that queries decisions").

### `query_impact_zone` (~222 tokens)

Compute the blast radius (callers/dependents) of a symbol using the local code graph, run on your working tree — source never leaves the machine. Call this BEFORE changing the signature or behavior of any shared or exported symbol, to see who breaks. CRITICAL: results are EVIDENCE, NOT PROOF. Recall is imperfect — an empty or small impact list is NOT proof the change is safe; callers bound via interfaces, dynamic dispatch, or re-exports are routinely missed. Corroborate a low result (grep + read) before concluding there is no blast radius. Heed the `boundaries` and `epistemic` fields.

Input parameters:

- `direction` (string): upstream = callers/dependents (default); downstream = dependencies.
- `file` (string): Repo-relative file containing the symbol, to disambiguate a colliding name.
- `maxDepth` (number): Max relationship depth to traverse (1-10).
- `symbol` (string, required): The symbol name to analyze (function, method, class, type).

## Common questions

### What is the Tently MCP server?

Tently is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.tently-team/tently-mcp. Tently, the AI PR reviewer for GitHub: agents check team decisions before they write code. This page covers its npm package (@tently/mcp).

### Is the Tently MCP server safe to use?

Tently scores 85 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Tently MCP server expose?

Tently exposes 2 tools: search_decisions, query_impact_zone. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 402 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Tently MCP server still maintained?

Tently is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Tently MCP server under?

Tently declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
