graph_read_transcriptRead and parse Claude Code JSONL transcript files, returning normalized text messages. Use this tool instead of reading raw JSONL for consistent parsing across format changes.
Instructions
Read and parse a Claude Code JSONL transcript file through the canonical transcript parser. Returns normalized messages with text content extracted. Use this instead of reading raw JSONL directly — if the transcript format changes, only this tool needs updating.
