find_references
Search for all references to a symbol across the solution, categorized by usage kind (read, write, invocation, etc.), with optional kind filter to limit results.
Instructions
Find all references to a symbol (type, method, property, field, or event) across the solution, each tagged with a kind. Kinds: read, write, readwrite (compound assignment / ++ / ref), invocation, method_group, object_creation, cast, type_check (is / patterns / as-tests), typeof, base_type, type_constraint, type_argument, declaration, attribute, nameof, xml_doc, and usage (rare fallback). Pass kinds to return only some (e.g. ["write","readwrite"] for mutation sites). Envelope adds a byKind summary. Multiple references on one line are reported separately with a column.
