get_function_call_graph

Generate a function call graph to analyze dependencies and relationships in Python code by specifying the file path and function name, with optional repository context.

Instructions

Get the call graph for a specific function.

Args: file_path: Path to the file containing the function function_name: Name of the function to analyze repo_path: Optional repository path (uses active repository if not specified)

Returns: Information about the function's call graph

Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function for the 'get_function_call_graph' tool, decorated with @mcp.tool(). It determines the repository, enriches the code graph for the specified function, handles errors, and formats the output using a helper function.
