| description | Look up when to use each TappsMCP tool. Full tool reference with per-tool guidance for session start, scoring, validation, checklist, docs, experts. Use when you need guidance on which TappsMCP tool to call for a given situation. |

When the user asks about TappsMCP tools, provide the full tool reference.
Essential: tapps_session_start (first), tapps_quick_check (after edits),
tapps_validate_changed (before complete, always pass file_paths), tapps_checklist (before complete).
Essential tools (always-on workflow)
| Tool | When to use it |
|---|
| tapps_session_start | FIRST call in every session — server info + call_graph cache status |
| tapps_quick_check | After editing any Python file — quick score + gate + basic security |
| tapps_validate_changed | Before multi-file complete — score + gate on changed files. Always pass explicit file_paths. include_impact=true (default) refreshes call-graph cache. |
| tapps_checklist | Before declaring complete — reports which tools were called |
| tapps_quality_gate | Before declaring work complete — ensures file passes preset |
Validation & analysis
| Tool | When to use it |
|---|
| tapps_security_scan | Security-sensitive changes or before security review |
| tapps_validate_config | When adding/changing Dockerfile, docker-compose, infra |
| tapps_impact_analysis | Module-level import blast radius before API or layout changes |
| tapps_call_graph | Before editing a function — `query=callers |
| tapps_impact_analysis | Module blast radius, or symbol-level with symbol= + `granularity=symbol |
| tapps_diff_impact | After Python edits — ranked affected tests for changed files |
| tapps_validate_changed | include_impact=true (default) refreshes cache via diff_impact |
| tapps_dead_code | Find unused code during refactoring |
| tapps_dependency_scan | Check for CVEs before releases |
| tapps_dependency_graph | Understand module dependencies, circular imports |
For function-level refactors use /tapps-refactor. Call tapps_server_info for the latest recommended workflow string.
