| allowed-tools | code_intel |
Check the Constellation API connection status by calling code_intel with this code parameter:
const result = await api.ping();
return result;
If successful (result.pong === true), report:
api.getCapabilities() to check indexing statusIf error (result.success is false), report based on error code:
| Error Code | Response |
|---|---|
AUTH_ERROR | "Status: Auth Failed - Run constellation auth to configure credentials" |
PROJECT_NOT_REGISTERED | "Status: Project Not Found - Verify project ID or check organization access" |
PROJECT_INACTIVE | "Status: Project Inactive - Project has been deactivated" |
API_UNREACHABLE | "Status: API Offline - Check network connectivity and API URL in constellation.json" |
| Other codes | Show error code, message, and guidance from result.error |
| Missing error object | Note "Unexpected response structure" and show raw result |
If the tool call fails entirely, report:
Keep the response brief and actionable.
Use when the user encounters Constellation errors, connection issues, or needs help debugging code intelligence problems. Triggers for: "Constellation errors", "fix Constellation", "debug Constellation", "Constellation not working", "API connection issues", "indexing problems", "MCP server issues", error codes like AUTH_ERROR, PROJECT_NOT_INDEXED
Use when getting a high-level overview of codebase architecture, project structure, language distribution, or understanding how the codebase is organized. Triggers for: "architecture overview", "codebase structure", "project summary", "language distribution", "how is this organized"
Use when analyzing file dependencies, checking for circular dependencies, or understanding what depends on a file. Supports forward (what does this file use?) and reverse (what uses this file?) analysis. Triggers for: "dependencies of X", "what imports this", "circular dependencies", "what depends on X", "dependency graph"
Use for a quick Constellation health check that tests MCP server connectivity, API authentication, and project indexing status. Triggers for: "diagnose Constellation", "health check", "why isn't code_intel working", "Constellation not responding", "check indexing status"
Use when analyzing the impact of changing, renaming, or deleting a symbol. Provides risk assessment, blast radius, affected files, test coverage, and recommendations. Triggers for: "impact of changing X", "what would break if I modify X", "blast radius", "risk of renaming X", "safe to delete X"
Use when finding dead code, orphaned exports, or unused functions/classes. Identifies exported symbols that are never imported anywhere in the codebase. Triggers for: "dead code", "unused exports", "orphaned code", "find unused functions", "clean up dead code"
