Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
list_refactoringsA

List available refactorings with their parameter contracts.

Returns the catalog of available refactorings from all enabled backends, optionally filtered by language and/or category.

Args: language: Filter by language (e.g., 'python'). If not specified, returns all. category: Filter by Fowler category (e.g., 'composing_methods')

Returns: TOON-formatted string containing refactoring specifications.

Categories: - composing_methods: Extract/inline methods, variables - moving_features: Move methods/fields between classes - organizing_data: Encapsulation, type codes - simplifying_conditionals: Guard clauses, polymorphism - simplifying_method_calls: Rename, add/remove parameters - dealing_with_generalization: Pull up/push down, inheritance

preview_refactoringA

Preview what changes a refactoring would make without applying them.

This is a dry-run mode that shows the diff of what would change, without actually modifying any files. Always preview before applying.

Args: refactoring: Name of the refactoring (e.g., 'extract-method') target: Target in language-native format (e.g., 'src/order.py::Order::calculate#L10-L15') params: Refactoring-specific parameters (e.g., {'name': 'calculate_tax'})

Returns: TOON-formatted string with preview results including diff.

Example: preview_refactoring( refactoring="extract-method", target="src/order.py::Order::calculate#L10-L15", params={"name": "calculate_tax"} )

apply_refactoringA

Apply a refactoring to the codebase.

This actually modifies files. Use preview_refactoring first to see what changes will be made. Changes can be reverted with git.

Args: refactoring: Name of the refactoring (e.g., 'extract-method') target: Target in language-native format (e.g., 'src/order.py::Order::calculate#L10-L15') params: Refactoring-specific parameters

Returns: TOON-formatted string with results of the applied refactoring.

Example: apply_refactoring( refactoring="rename-method", target="src/order.py::Order::calc_total", params={"new_name": "calculate_total"} )

inspect_structureA

Get structural information about code (classes, methods, line numbers).

Inspects a file to return information about its structure. Use this to understand the code before applying refactorings.

Args: path: File path to inspect (e.g., 'src/order.py') depth: Level of detail - 'file', 'class', or 'method' (default: 'class')

Returns: TOON-formatted string with structural information.

Example: inspect_structure(path="src/order.py", depth="method")

analyze_codeA

Analyze code for smells and suggest refactorings.

Detects code smells like long methods, large classes, feature envy, and suggests appropriate refactorings to address them.

Note: This feature requires backend support. Returns backend_supported: false for backends that don't implement analysis yet.

Args: path: File or directory path to analyze smells: Optional list of smell types to check for (e.g., ['long-method', 'large-class', 'feature-envy'])

Returns: TOON-formatted string with analysis results.

Supported smell types (when backend supports analysis): - long-method: Method exceeds line threshold - large-class: Class has too many responsibilities - feature-envy: Method uses another class's data excessively - data-clumps: Same data items appear together repeatedly - primitive-obsession: Overuse of primitives instead of objects - duplicate-code: Similar code in multiple locations
