Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
create_diagramA

Create a new Excalidraw diagram from structured node and connection data.

The LLM provides a relationship map - this tool handles layout, styling, and rendering. No need to specify coordinates.

mermaid_to_excalidrawA

Convert Mermaid flowchart syntax into an Excalidraw diagram.

Supports the mermaid flowchart subset that AI agents commonly generate:

  • Directions: graph TD, LR, BT, RL

  • Node shapes: [text], {text}, ((text)), ([text])

  • Edge types: -->, ---, -.-> ==> with |label|

  • Subgraphs: subgraph Title ... end

Component types are auto-detected from node labels (e.g., a node labeled "PostgreSQL DB" automatically gets database styling).

modify_diagramA

Modify an existing Excalidraw diagram created by this tool.

Supports iterative editing: add components, remove nodes, update labels, and rewire connections - without recreating the entire diagram.

IMPORTANT: Call get_diagram_info first to understand the current diagram state before making modifications.

get_diagram_infoA

Get a structured summary of an existing Excalidraw diagram.

Call this BEFORE modify_diagram to understand what nodes and connections currently exist. The summary includes node ids, labels, component types, and the full connection topology.

export_diagramA

Export an .excalidraw file to SVG or PNG image.

Converts an existing .excalidraw diagram into a portable image file without requiring a browser or the Excalidraw application.

kg_initB

Create a new architecture knowledge graph file (markdown).

The knowledge graph is the persistent source of truth for your system's services and dependencies. Diagrams are rendered from it.

kg_add_serviceB

Add or update a service in the knowledge graph.

kg_remove_serviceC

Remove a service and all dependencies touching it.

kg_linkA

Add a directed dependency: from_id depends on / calls to_id.

Both services must already exist (add them with kg_add_service first). style is one of solid/dashed/dotted/thick.

kg_unlinkC

Remove the dependency from_id -> to_id.

kg_set_domainC

Assign a service to a domain (optionally set the domain's display label).

kg_infoA

Summarize the whole knowledge graph: services, domains, and topology.

Call this before mutating the graph to reason about current state.

kg_renderC

Render the entire architecture to an .excalidraw file.

kg_render_viewC

Render a focused diagram of just the given services (induced subgraph).

kg_render_aroundB

Render a service plus everything within depth hops of it.

direction: "downstream" (its dependencies), "upstream" (its dependents), or "both".

kg_render_domainC

Render only the services belonging to one domain.

kg_importB

Import an existing .excalidraw diagram's services into the knowledge graph.

Bootstraps the graph from diagrams you already created with this tool.

whats_connected_toA

Impact analysis: what breaks if service_id fails?

Reports direct dependents, the full transitive upstream blast radius, and what the service itself depends on.

kg_pathC

Trace the shortest dependency path between two services.

kg_lintA

Architecture health check: cycles, single points of failure, orphans, dangling references, and (optionally) unowned services.

kg_exportC

Export the knowledge graph to another format.

kg_diffB

Show how the architecture changed since a git ref (default HEAD).

Compares the current knowledge file against its version at ref.

kg_onboarding_docC

Generate a human onboarding guide (entry points, hubs, domains) from the graph.

kg_driftA

Detect drift between the declared architecture and Python imports under code_root.

Best-effort: treats each top-level package as a service and infers edges from imports. Reports undocumented and possibly-stale dependencies.
