automatised-pipeline

by cdeust

Every AI coding assistant hits the same wall: you ask it to change handle_tool_call, and it either hallucinates a function that was renamed last week, edits something in the wrong community of the codebase, or silently breaks a call chain three modules away. Agents operate on strings; codebases have structure. The gap is where bugs live.

automatised-pipeline is a Rust MCP server that indexes any Rust, Python, TypeScript, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C, C, C++, or Go codebase into a LadybugDB property graph (Ruby is dispatched on the shallow path — node-kind rows, no deep extraction — for 11 languages in total), resolves imports and call chains across files, detects functional communities via Leiden-class community detection, traces execution flows from entry points, builds a hybrid BM25 + sparse TF-IDF + RRF search index, and exposes all of it to AI agents through 26 MCP tools.

It is the codebase intelligence layer that sits between a finding ("this bug exists") and a PRD ("here is the fix, here is what it affects, here is what it must never break"). It is read-only intelligence — it never writes code, opens PRs, or runs CI. It tells the system what is true about the code so the next stage can reason without guessing.

One pipeline stage = one MCP tool. 10 stages. 26 tools. 12,000+ lines of Rust. 1000+ tests. Zero warnings. Every constant sourced.


What an agent can ask it

analyze_codebase(path: "/path/to/project", output_dir: "/tmp/run")
  → index + resolve + cluster + build search index in one call
  → 430 nodes, 400 edges, 216 communities, 35 processes on our own codebase

search_codebase(graph_path, query: "process incoming tool requests")
  → hybrid ranked results: BM25 lexical + sparse TF-IDF semantic + RRF fusion
  → returns: handle_tool_call (score 0.021), dispatch_request (0.020), ...

get_context(graph_path, qualified_name: "src/main.rs::handle_tool_call")
  → 360° view: community membership, process participation,
    incoming calls, outgoing calls, types used, types that use it
  → did-you-mean suggestions when the symbol isn't found exactly

get_impact(graph_path, qualified_name)
  → blast radius: every process that transits this symbol, every community it touches
  → the answer to "what breaks if I change this?"

detect_changes(graph_path, diff_text OR base_ref+head_ref)
  → git diff → affected symbols → impacted communities → touched processes
  → risk score for the change

validate_prd_against_graph(prd_path, graph_path)
  → does the PRD reference real symbols? (symbol hallucination check)
  → does "scoped to X" match the actual community count?
  → does "doesn't affect main" hold against the call graph?

check_security_gates(graph_path, changed_symbols)
  → auth-critical community touch · unsafe symbol · public API change ·
    unresolved imports · test coverage gap

verify_semantic_diff(before_graph_path, after_graph_path)
  → what nodes/edges appeared, what disappeared, what dangles,
    new cycles via Tarjan SCC, regression score with verdict

Getting started

Prerequisites

  • Rust 1.95.0 — pinned by rust-toolchain.toml, so rustup installs and selects it for you; the same compiler builds CI and the releases

  • CMake (LadybugDB builds its C++ core from source — ~5 minutes first build, cached after)

Clone + build

git clone https://github.com/cdeust/automatised-pipeline.git
cd automatised-pipeline
cargo build --release
# First build: ~5 minutes (compiles LadybugDB C++ core)
# Subsequent builds: <1 second incremental

Register the MCP server

The repo ships a .mcp.json that Claude Code picks up automatically when you open the directory:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-architect": {
      "command": "cargo",
      "args": ["run", "--quiet", "--release", "--manifest-path", "Cargo.toml", "--", "--profile", "core"]
    }
  }
}

Or register globally (recommended agent setup — the core profile):

claude mcp add ai-architect -- /absolute/path/to/target/release/automatised-pipeline --profile core

Tool profiles

The server registers one of two tool sets, chosen once at startup:

Profile

Tools

Who it's for

core

8 — health_check · analyze_codebase · search_codebase · get_context · get_symbol · get_impact · query_graph · detect_changes

Recommended for agents. The read-only code-intelligence surface: analyze once, then search, inspect symbols, and measure blast radius.

full

all 26

The ai-architect pipeline orchestrator — adds the internal finding → PRD stages (1/2/4/6/8/9) and the manual graph passes (index_codebase, resolve_graph, cluster_graph, lsp_resolve, get_processes, index_history).

Select with the --profile flag or the AP_PROFILE environment variable (the flag wins):

automatised-pipeline --profile core   # agent-facing 8
AP_PROFILE=core automatised-pipeline  # same, via env
automatised-pipeline                  # default: full (all 26)

The default stays full until the next major version — shrinking the default tool surface is a breaking change. New agent installations should opt into core: analyze_codebase already runs index + resolve + cluster in one call, so the 18 hidden tools are pipeline plumbing an agent never needs, and hiding them keeps the tool prompt small.

First run

# Run the binary directly to verify the handshake
./target/release/automatised-pipeline

# Or exercise it via stdio JSON-RPC:
printf '%s\n' \
  '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{}}' \
  '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list"}' \
  '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"health_check","arguments":{}}}' \
  | ./target/release/automatised-pipeline

Use with other MCP hosts

The server is a self-contained stdio binary — any MCP host can launch it. Install once:

cargo install ai-architect-mcp   # installs the `automatised-pipeline` binary into ~/.cargo/bin

Install into your agent host (auto-config)

One command detects your installed hosts and writes the right MCP config for each — never clobbering the rest of the file:

automatised-pipeline install

It configures the top six hosts it detects: Claude Code (~/.claude.json), Codex CLI (~/.codex/config.toml), Gemini CLI (~/.gemini/settings.json), Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json), VS Code (Code/User/mcp.json), and Zed (~/.config/zed/settings.json).

  • Never clobbers. The existing config is parsed; only our ai-architect entry is added or updated; every other server survives. A file it cannot safely parse is never overwritten — it prints the exact entry to paste by hand.

  • Zed JSONC. Zed's settings.json allows comments, which strict JSON editing would destroy, so install refuses to edit it in place and prints the snippet + instructions instead (your comments stay byte-for-byte).

  • Codex TOML is edited comment- and format-preserving (via toml_edit).

  • Flags: --dry-run (print planned changes, write nothing), --only <host> / --skip <host> (filter; --only forces a host even if undetected), --with-hooks (also register the Grep/Glob PreToolUse hook, see below). Re-running is idempotent (a second run reports "no change").

  • Uninstall: automatised-pipeline uninstall removes exactly our entries (and the hook), leaving everything else intact.

automatised-pipeline install --dry-run                 # preview
automatised-pipeline install --only cursor --only zed  # just these
automatised-pipeline install --with-hooks              # + the grep→graph hook
automatised-pipeline uninstall                         # remove our entries

Binary → first query. Measured on this machine (2026-07): install completes in ~1.3 s (dominated by process/DB startup; the config write itself is sub-second); analyze_codebase on this repo's own src/ (114 files → 16.5k nodes, 16.3k edges — index + resolve + cluster) takes ~12 s wall; the first search_codebase returns instantly. So once the binary exists, install → analyze → first graph query is ~15 s — well under the 2-minute target. The one-time cargo build --release (~5 min, compiling the LadybugDB C++ core) is a separate, before-the-clock step.

Fail-open grep→graph hook

automatised-pipeline install --with-hooks registers a Claude Code PreToolUse hook (matcher Grep|Glob) that runs automatised-pipeline hook-augment. Before a Grep/Glob in a project that has an ai-architect graph, it injects a one-line suggestion to consider search_codebase/query_graph first. Cardinal rule: it never blocks the tool call — no graph, an unparseable payload, or any error → it prints nothing and exits 0. Hook registration is opt-in (the --with-hooks flag), never default.

Or configure a host by hand

The CLI commands below assume ~/.cargo/bin is on your PATH. GUI hosts (Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code) may not inherit your shell PATH — in the JSON configs, replace automatised-pipeline with the output of which automatised-pipeline. Use the core profile (8 read-only tools) for agent hosts.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add -e AP_PROFILE=core ai-architect automatised-pipeline

Or install as an extension (this repo ships a gemini-extension.json):

gemini extensions install https://github.com/cdeust/automatised-pipeline

OpenAI Codex CLI (also picked up by the ChatGPT desktop app and Codex IDE extension — they share ~/.codex/config.toml)

codex mcp add ai-architect -- automatised-pipeline --profile core

Or in ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.ai-architect]
command = "automatised-pipeline"
args = ["--profile", "core"]

Cursor.cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-architect": {
      "command": "automatised-pipeline",
      "args": ["--profile", "core"]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json: same mcpServers block as Cursor.

VS Code.vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "ai-architect": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "automatised-pipeline",
      "args": ["--profile", "core"]
    }
  }
}

OpenAI Agents SDK (Python)

from agents.mcp import MCPServerStdio

async with MCPServerStdio(
    name="ai-architect",
    params={"command": "automatised-pipeline", "args": ["--profile", "core"]},
) as server:
    agent = Agent(name="Assistant", mcp_servers=[server])

The pipeline

Every stage is a tool. Stages build on each other but are independently callable. The pipeline is serial in logical order but MCP calls are stateless — you can re-run stages 3a-3d on a fresh codebase without re-running stages 1-2.

Stages 5 (PRD generation), 7 (implementation), 10 (benchmark), 11 (deployment), 12 (PR) belong to other systems in the pipeline: prd-spec-generator, the coding agent, CI, and gh. This project is the read-only intelligence half.


26 MCP Tools

Every tool takes structured JSON arguments via the MCP protocol and returns a structured JSON response. No LLM is called from inside any tool — intelligence is the agent's job; the tool's job is safe, fast data movement with invariants.

Stage 0:  health_check
Stage 1:  extract_finding · refine_finding
Stage 2:  start_verification · append_clarification · finalize_verification · abort_verification
Stage 3:  ingest_traces
Stage 3a: index_codebase · index_status · query_graph · get_symbol
Stage 3b: resolve_graph · lsp_resolve
Stage 3c: cluster_graph · get_processes · get_impact
Stage 3d: search_codebase · get_context · analyze_codebase · detect_changes
Stage 3e: index_history
Stage 4:  prepare_prd_input
Stage 6:  validate_prd_against_graph
Stage 8:  check_security_gates
Stage 9:  verify_semantic_diff

Each tool has a JSON Schema enforced at the wire, reason codes on error (no cryptic protocol errors), and a receipt-style response with timing and counts.

Agent installs rarely need all 26 — the core profile (see Tool profiles) registers just the 8 code-intelligence tools.

Team-shared graph artifact (optional)

index_codebase can commit a compressed snapshot of the graph so teammates who clone the repo never have to cold-index it.

  • index_codebase with "export_artifact": true writes, after a successful index, a tar → zstd snapshot to <path>/.automatised-pipeline/graph.zst plus a graph.meta.json sidecar (schema version, git sha, tool version, node/edge counts). It also appends a .gitattributes entry (.automatised-pipeline/graph.zst binary merge=ours) so the committed binary never produces merge conflicts across branches. Commit both files.

  • index_codebase with "bootstrap": true — when there is no local graph at <output_dir>/graph but a committed artifact is present — decompresses the snapshot instead of cold-indexing. Staleness is checked first by comparing the artifact's git sha with the repo's current HEAD:

    • shas equal → import;

    • shas differ → by default the import is refused and a full index runs; a stderr line reports how many commits behind the artifact is, and the tool response carries a bootstrap_skipped object;

    • "accept_stale": true → import the stale snapshot anyway, and the response carries a stale_artifact {artifact_sha, head_sha, commits_behind} report so a stale graph is never mistaken for a fresh one.

    An import failure also falls back to a full index explicitly (logged to stderr), never a silent partial graph.

All three flags default to false, so existing behavior and the core/core8 profiles are unchanged. The artifact is entirely optional: without it, index_codebase cold-indexes exactly as before.

Post-import incremental fill (re-index only the artifact_commit..HEAD diff instead of a full re-index) is tracked in #62 — it needs a changed-files-only indexer, which AP does not yet have.

Real ranked text search, <10ms startup

Deliberately not included: async runtime (we're stdio-blocking), HTTP client, LLM SDK, embedding model runtime (sparse TF-IDF replaces it at zero dep cost).

Storage

Graphs are per-finding by design (Lamport's isolation invariant): each finding gets its own LadybugDB instance at <output_dir>/runs/<run_id>/findings/<finding_id>/graph/. Zero-coordination concurrency, trivial cleanup, no cross-finding state leakage. Redundant indexing for shared codebases is acknowledged and mitigated in a later optional cache layer — not shoehorned into the core.

Configuration — max_db_size

Every LadybugDB Database this crate opens reserves virtual address space up front, sized by max_db_size. lbug's own default (SystemConfig::default()) is 1 << 43 = 8 TiB per instance; with graph_cache's MAX_CACHED_GRAPHS = 8 entries live in the read-path cache at once, that is a 64 TiB worst case (issue #25). src/graph_store.rs::system_config() is the single choke point every GraphStore::open_or_create call resolves through, in this precedence order:

  1. AP_LBUG_TEST_MAX_DB_SIZE — test-only, set for every cargo test process via .cargo/config.toml's [env] table (512 MiB / 2^29, issue #21). Always wins when present, so cargo test behavior is independent of the production knob below.

  2. AP_LBUG_MAX_DB_SIZE — production override, unset by default. Bytes, must be a power of two and at least 8 MiB (lbug's own BufferManager::verifySizeParams floor). An invalid value is rejected with an actionable error at GraphStore::open_or_create time — never a silent fallback.

  3. Default: 8 GiB (1 << 33 bytes) when neither var is set. Derivation: measured every lbug graph-DB file reachable on the machine that produced this fix (75 distinct graphs — see the table below); the largest was 495,849,472 bytes (~473 MiB, a cortex-viz index run including node_modules). Sizing rule: next power of two ≥ (largest measured × 16), floor 8 GiB. 473 MiB × 16 ≈ 7.39 GiB is below the floor, so the floor (already a power of two) applies.

Re-measure and raise AP_LBUG_MAX_DB_SIZE (or the compiled-in default) if a materially larger workload is observed in production — e.g. indexing a monorepo with node_modules included.

Measured graph sizes (2026-07-15, du -k on every graph file found under ~/.cache/cortex/code-graphs/*/graph, ~/.cortex/ap_graph/graph, and **/.prd-gen/graphs/*/graph), top 10 of 75:

Total across all 75 measured graphs: ~4.87 GiB. Every graph other than the top 3 (which include node_modules) is under 150 MiB — the node_modules-inclusive runs are the actual worst case driving the sizing rule above.


The zetetic standard

Inherited from zetetic-team-subagents. Not a prompt suggestion — an enforcement rule that holds in code.

Pillar

Question

Logical

Is it consistent?

Critical

Is it true?

Rational

Is it useful?

Essential

Is it necessary?

In this codebase it concretely means:

  1. Every algorithm traces to a source. Louvain → Blondel et al. 2008. Leiden C2 repair → Traag et al. 2019. RRF → Cormack, Clarke, Büttcher 2009. SCC → Tarjan 1972. BM25 via Tantivy → Robertson et al. 1994.

  2. Every named constant has a // source: comment. RRF_K = 60 cites Cormack 2009. BULK_BATCH_SIZE = 500 cites Kùzu/LadybugDB tuning. PARSE_TIMEOUT_MICROS = 5_000_000 is justified in the block above it.

  3. No invented numbers. Where a value was chosen by judgment, the comment says so ("heuristic, not paper-backed") and cites its operational justification.

  4. Tool responses cite the spec that governs each error reason. unsafe finding_id (spec §5.1.4, §9.3 Q4): must match [A-Za-z0-9._-]+ — callers see which rule they violated.

  5. When a capability can't be proved at spec time, the tool degrades gracefully and says so in plain language. Example: lsp_resolve on a stub binary returns lsp_probe_failed: found on PATH but didn't respond as an LSP server (stdout closed immediately; likely a stub, proxy, or non-LSP binary) — not a cryptic protocol error.


Security

Four CRITICAL, four HIGH, three MEDIUM findings were surfaced by a security-auditor agent pass and fixed in commit 512d683:

  • Cypher injection via insert_edge → centralized cypher_str() escaping (\ first, then ')

  • Git argument injection → validate_git_ref rejects --, newlines, NUL; -- separator before refs

  • Arbitrary binary execution via lsp_command → strict allowlist (rust-analyzer, pyright, pyright-langserver, typescript-language-server)

  • Symlink traversal → fs::symlink_metadata + MAX_DEPTH

  • Resource exhaustion → MAX_FILES=100_000, MAX_FILE_BYTES=10 MB, MAX_TOTAL_BYTES=2 GB, MAX_DEPTH=64

  • Tree-sitter pathological input → set_timeout_micros(5_000_000) + MAX_PARSE_BYTES=1 MB

  • query_graph read-only → forbidden-keyword whole-word filter (CREATE/DELETE/MERGE/SET/REMOVE/DROP/ALTER/CALL/LOAD)

  • graph_path filesystem safety → validate_graph_path_safe() before any remove_dir_all

  • LSP rootUri → RFC 3986 percent-encoding

  • Diff line overflow → DIFF_LINE_MAX = u64::MAX / 2 guard

Each fix has a test that asserts the exploit is now rejected. Run cargo test to see 1000+ tests pass including the exploit-regression suite.

The full security argument — threat model, trust boundaries, what each claim rests on, and where it stops — is in docs/ASSURANCE-CASE.md. Reporting process and response SLA: SECURITY.md. How the project is run and what happens if the maintainer stops: GOVERNANCE.md. Where it is going: docs/ROADMAP.md. OpenSSF Best Practices answers, criterion by criterion: .bestpractices.json.


Scale

Re-measured 2026-07-28 on the current dependency (lbug 0.18, rustc 1.95.0, macOS 26.5.1 arm64) by re-running the dba agent's nine compile-and-run probes — cargo test --release --test lbug_bulk_investigation -- --nocapture, 199 edges per strategy. The ranking is the same one the original 0.15.3 run found; the absolute figures are not comparable across the two runs, because both the engine version and the machine changed.

Strategy

ms/edge

Raw string per edge (naive)

9.658

Prepared statement, no transaction

6.924

BEGIN TRANSACTION + prepared + COMMIT

0.328

UNWIND + typed LogicalType::Struct

0.127

The chosen path is 76× faster than the naive one on this measurement.

The bulk-insert path uses UNWIND with a typed struct schema (the engineer who wrote the first version used LogicalType::Any which fails the binder — the typed struct form works). Prepared statements are cached in a RefCell<HashMap<query, PreparedStatement>> on the GraphStore. Sparse TF-IDF replaces the dense N × V × 4B matrix — 30.5× smaller on our own codebase (108 KB vs 3.2 MB) and scales linearly with non-zero terms rather than vocab size. Clustering eliminated probe_node_label_for_process (per-node Cypher round-trip) in favor of a single in-memory HashMap<id, label> population pass.

500-file synthetic Rust fixture indexes in ~38 seconds end-to-end (parse + resolve + cluster + search index), down from the pre-audit implied "5 min – 1 hour" bracket.


Falsifiable evidence — graph tools vs a Grep/Glob/Read baseline

The core proposition — a graph query beats file-by-file exploration — is measured, not asserted. benchmarks/eval_headtohead/ is a pre-registered (PRE_REGISTRATION.md, committed before execution), two-condition, head-to-head evaluation over a committed 4-language corpus (Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust), 20 questions across 5 capability dimensions. Every number below is a field in benchmarks/eval_headtohead/results.json, regenerable by benchmarks/eval_headtohead/reproduce.sh (no network, no API key). Provenance and the honest negative are in that folder's MANIFEST.md.

Those four lost questions are in raw_results.json — a sweep that reports only wins is not evidence. The blinded LLM-as-a-Judge answer-quality leg is config-gated (AP_EVAL_JUDGE_CMD) and was budget-gated off for the published run; the deterministic precision/recall/token/tool-call numbers above stand on their own.

  • Cortex — every architectural decision made during a pipeline run gets remembered. When the next finding touches a similar area, Cortex surfaces the prior reasoning before you re-derive it.

  • zetetic-team-subagents — the genius agents (Shannon, Lamport, Simon, Popper, Feynman, Fermi, dba, architect, security-auditor, engineer) designed this project stage by stage. Every major decision in stages/*.md traces to an agent dispatch.

  • prd-spec-generator — consumes our stage-4.prd_input.json artifact via disk or MCP-to-MCP query of search_codebase / get_context / get_impact. Each in its ideal language: our performance-critical graph work in Rust, their document generation in TypeScript.


Testing

cargo test                                          # 1000+ tests, full suite
cargo test --release --test scalability_bench       # 500-file synthetic fixture
cargo test --release --test lbug_bulk_investigation # dba's 9 UNWIND probes
cargo test --release --test stage3a_integration     # end-to-end per sub-stage
cargo test --release --test stage9_integration      # before/after diff
cargo check                                         # zero warnings required
cargo build --release                               # release binary

Every stage has an integration test with fixture data. The lbug_bulk_investigation test is intentionally preserved — it's the compile-and-run proof that dba's UNWIND pattern works, kept for regression protection and documentation.

The zetetic decisions behind the build

Every major architectural decision was made by a genius agent with a specific problem shape. Stored in stages/decisions/*.md and in Cortex.

Decision

Agent

Verdict

Rust vs C/C++ for the glue layer

Popper

Conjecture "Rust is the right language" is unfalsified. lbug + tree-sitter already run native C/C++; Rust is the glue where the borrow checker pays the most.

Graph-per-finding vs graph-per-codebase

Lamport

Per-finding. Isolation holds by construction with zero coordination; the redundant-indexing cost is mitigable in an optional cache layer later.

Stage 3a decomposition

Simon

Five steps, satisficed against the growth rule; first useful query at step 4.

DB backend choice

dba

LadybugDB (evaluated at lbug 0.15.3, now on 0.18) — only option simultaneously maintained, native Cypher, embedded, with FTS + vector + algo extensions.

Stage 2 clarification loop shape

Shannon

Four-tool state machine with atomic single-file session (no crash window between separate files), unconditional one-round-minimum before finalize.

lbug UNWIND pattern

dba

LogicalType::Struct { fields } works; LogicalType::Any fails the binder — 38× speedup verified by compile-and-run probes.

Agents are spawned via zetetic-team-subagents; each genius is a reasoning pattern (not a persona) with canonical moves and primary-source citations.


Status

Public repo, MIT licensed. Security audit fixes are in, correctness fixes are in, scale fixes are in, stages 4/6/8/9 are live, but every capability marked "live" above has been verified end-to-end on this machine, not yet in a production context.

What works today: indexing Rust, Python, TypeScript, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C, C, C++, and Go codebases end-to-end, resolving cross-file relationships, clustering into communities, tracing processes from entry points, hybrid search, PRD input preparation, PRD claim validation, security gate checking, before/after regression detection.

What's deferred:

  • Cross-file indexer batching to unlock the full 38× UNWIND win (currently 1.17× aggregate; per-edge rate is already 0.143 ms)

  • is_unsafe extraction in the Rust parser (stage 8 S2 runs in info-skip mode pending this)

  • LSP-based deep method resolution on inferred types

  • Multi-repo / workgroup operations (GitNexus group_*)

  • Rename / refactor tools (we are read-only by design)
