xmp4_callees

Find direct callees (methods called by) a symbol in a project. Navigate step-by-step by calling xmp4_callees again on interesting results.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
docsNoInclude docs: none (default) | summary | full (xmp4_info only)
pageNoPage number (1-based, default 1; ignored by xmp4_info/xmp4_source)
projectYesProject id: 'repo/project' or 'repo/project/language'. Case-insensitive prefix match. Append '/Python'|'/CSharp'|'/Java'|etc. only to disambiguate multi-language projects (e.g. 'django/Django/Python' vs 'django/Django/JavaScript'). 1 match → proceeds; N → warning lists candidates; 0 → do NOT iterate guesses, call xmp4_projects(query=...) once then retry.
file_pathNoFile path to disambiguate
page_sizeNoResults per page (default 20, max 100)
symbol_nameYesSymbol name
output_formatNoOutput format: Compact (default) or Verbose

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries the transparency burden. It discloses the core read behavior and the step-by-step navigation, but doesn't mention pagination, sort order, or result shape. No direct contradictions, but limited behavioral depth.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two sentences, front-loaded with the primary purpose. Second sentence adds valuable navigation guidance. No redundant information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a moderately simple tool with a rich schema, the description covers the core purpose and provides usage guidance. It lacks output format details, but the schema already documents pagination and formatting parameters.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 100%, so the baseline is 3. The description adds no additional parameter semantics beyond clarifying the meaning of 'callees' as 'methods called by.'

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description uses the specific verb 'Find' with the resource 'direct callees (methods called by) a symbol in a project,' clearly distinguishing it from sibling tools like xmp4_callers. It also explains the iterative usage pattern, removing ambiguity.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description gives clear context: use to find direct callees and step-by-step navigation. It does not explicitly exclude alternatives or name sibling tools, but the usage context is unambiguous.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A3.7/5.0
Disambiguation5/5

Each tool targets a distinct purpose: callers vs callees vs usages vs tests_for are directionally different, grep vs search separates text from symbol queries, and outline/view/source/info each serve unique functions. No two tools clearly overlap.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a uniform 'xmp4_<snake_case_noun>' pattern with no mixed conventions or camelCase. The names are terse, descriptive, and predictably formatted.

Tool Count4/5

At 16 tools, this is slightly above the typical well-scoped range (3–15), but the breadth is justified by the comprehensive code-knowledge domain. Every tool covers a distinct feature, so the count feels reasonable rather than bloated.

Completeness5/5

The surface is remarkably complete for semantic code analysis: project discovery (xmp4_projects), symbol lookup (xmp4_search, xmp4_symbol_at, xmp4_info), navigation (xmp4_outline, xmp4_view, xmp4_source), relationship exploration (callers, callees, hierarchy, usages, tests_for), and supporting meta tools (guide, server, deps, grep). No obvious gaps exist for its stated purpose.
