Preview a review (free)
kimi_dry_runPreview a paid Kimi review before running it—see scope, diff size, redactions, and truncation without a model call. Verify the review's coverage and redaction report to avoid unexpected output or omitted files.
Instructions
Preview what a kimi_review_changes call would send — scope, diff size,
redactions, truncation. Free — no model call, no spend. Use it before a
review to inspect the scope and the reported redactions; redaction is
best-effort, so treat the preview as a check on scope, not as confirmation
that no secret remains. Pass the same extra_context and untracked policy
you would give the review so the preview matches it. would_call_model reports
whether the paid call would actually run the model (False on an empty diff, where
prompt_bytes is 0), and coverage discloses omitted untracked files just as the
review would. The result echoes the effective model/reasoning_effort overrides
the paid call would send (unvalidated). deadline_advisory is non-null when size
or effort risks the synchronous deadline (null whenever would_call_model is
False) and names kimi_review_changes_async verbatim — the async counterpart of
the previewed call, not of this dry-run tool. A hint, not a refusal.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| base | No | Base git ref for scope='branch'; the review covers base...HEAD. | |
| model | No | The Kimi model slug the previewed paid call would use; defaults to the server default (MOONBRIDGE_MODEL) when unset, so the preview mirrors the paid call's resolution. This dry run does not call Kimi or validate the model. | |
| paths | No | Repo-relative paths to narrow the review ('/' separators, no '..'); omit to review all changes in scope. | |
| scope | No | Which changes to review: 'working_tree' (tracked changes vs HEAD; untracked files follow the `untracked` policy, off by default), 'branch' (needs base), or 'commit' (needs commit). | working_tree |
| commit | No | Commit SHA or ref to review for scope='commit'. | |
| isolation | No | Which skills Kimi loads: 'inherit' (own user/project discovery) or 'ignore-skills' (empty dir). Built-ins load either way; this reduces loading, not isolation. Default: server-configured, per kimi_status. More: kimi://params. | |
| untracked | No | How working_tree scope treats untracked files: 'explicit_only' (default) includes only those named in `paths`; 'include' reviews all non-ignored untracked files (SENDS their contents to your configured provider — opt-in egress); 'exclude' includes none. Omitted ones are disclosed in `coverage`. Inert for branch/commit scopes. | explicit_only |
| extra_context | No | Optional author intent/background context, added as clearly-labeled UNTRUSTED prompt data. Redaction does NOT cover it — no live secrets. Full caveats and bounds: kimi://params. | |
| workspace_root | No | Absolute path to the target repo root — pass it to target the intended repo (MCP roots are unavailable); otherwise the call falls back to the server's own cwd and sets meta.workspace_warning. | |
| reasoning_effort | No | The reasoning effort the previewed paid call would send (as a `model_reasoning_effort` config override); defaults to the server default (MOONBRIDGE_REASONING_EFFORT) when unset, so the preview mirrors the paid call's resolution. This dry run does not call Kimi or validate the value beyond the paid params' shape bounds (no control or surrogate characters, ≤128 chars). |
