query

Retrieve detailed information about a named entity, including signature, source code, members, and dependencies, to understand its role and connections in the codebase.

Instructions

Deep dive on a single entity. Returns signature, source code, members, resolved dependencies (imports/extends/implements), and reverse dependencies. Use after map to inspect a specific class, function, or method by name — no file path needed.

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It details what the tool returns (signature, source code, members, dependencies), which is good. However, it does not mention error handling (e.g., entity not found) or any side effects, so slightly incomplete.

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, extremely concise, front-loaded with purpose. Every sentence earns its place.

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 single-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers what is returned and usage context. Minor gaps: doesn't specify required name format or behavior for missing entities.

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 coverage is 100% for a single parameter; the description adds minimal extra value ('no file path needed') but largely repeats what the schema implies. Baseline 3 is appropriate.

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 'Deep dive on a single entity' as a strong verb+resource statement and lists specific return data (signature, source code, etc.). It clearly distinguishes from siblings by stating 'Use after map' and implies contrast with map and reindex.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly states 'Use after map' to guide when to use this tool and provides a context cue: 'no file path needed' which sets expectations relative to other tools.

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