get_super_method

Find the superclass or interface method overridden or implemented by a given method. Uses zero-based line and column coordinates.

Instructions

Find the method that this method overrides or implements.

USAGE: Position on a method that overrides/implements another OUTPUT: The superclass/interface method being overridden

IMPORTANT: Uses ZERO-BASED coordinates.

Requires load_project to be called first.

Behavior4/5

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

No annotations provided, so description carries full burden. Discloses zero-based coordinates and prerequisite. Does not detail side effects or output format, but adequats for a query tool.

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?

Very concise with clear sections (USAGE, OUTPUT, IMPORTANT). No wasted words, essential information front-loaded.

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?

Given no output schema, describes output as 'superclass/interface method'. Lacks specific return structure, but sufficient for a simple query tool among many siblings.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema has 100% coverage with descriptions. Adds value by stating coordinates are zero-based, clarifying expected input semantics.

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?

Clearly states it finds the super method overridden/implemented by a given method. Differentiates from siblings like 'find_implementations' by specifying the exact relationship.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

Explicitly instructs to position on a method that overrides/implements, and mentions prerequisite load_project. Lacks explicit when-not-to-use but provides clear context.

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