| description | Prefer LeIndex MCP tools over raw Read, Grep, Glob, rg, grep, find, ls, tree, cat, and ad-hoc file scans when navigating, understanding, or refactoring code. Use when an indexed codebase is available and you want semantic search, project maps, symbol lookup, scoped file reads, impact analysis, edit previews, or safe refactors. |
LeIndex Toolkit
Assume the leindex MCP server is available. Use LeIndex as the primary code navigation and refactoring surface instead of low-level file and shell search tools whenever possible.
Before your first LeIndex call in a session:
- Prefer tool auto-indexing. Call
leindex_index explicitly only when you need fresh stats or a forced refresh.
- Load references/tool-schemas.md if you need the exact argument schema for a tool.
- Use references/tool-selection.md for workflow guidance and tool substitution patterns.
Complete toolkit:
leindex_index: index a project or refresh a stale index.leindex_search: semantic code search by meaning.leindex_deep_analyze: broad semantic + structural analysis for architecture and feature understanding.leindex_context: expand callers, callees, siblings, and data dependencies around a node.leindex_diagnostics: index health, freshness, and memory diagnostics.leindex_phase_analysis: additive 5-phase architecture analysis with recommendations.leindex_file_summary: structural file overview without reading the whole file.leindex_symbol_lookup: callers, callees, and impact radius for one or more symbols.leindex_project_map: annotated project tree with scoping, sorting, and pagination.leindex_grep_symbols: structural symbol search by exact name, substring, or regex-like pattern.leindex_read_symbol: exact source for a symbol with doc comments and dependency signatures.leindex_edit_preview: preview a proposed edit and review risk before applying.leindex_edit_apply: apply a prepared edit in simple or advanced mode.leindex_rename_symbol: PDG-aware rename across files.leindex_impact_analysis: estimate the blast radius of a symbol change.leindex_text_search: exact text or regex search with symbol ownership and context lines.leindex_read_file: exact file contents with line numbers plus PDG annotations.leindex_git_status: git status and changed-file impact enriched with structural analysis.
Default substitutions:
- Instead of
Glob, find, fd, ls, or tree, use leindex_project_map.
- Instead of
Read for orientation, use leindex_file_summary or leindex_read_symbol.
- Instead of
Read for full exact contents, use leindex_read_file.
- Instead of
Grep, rg, or grep for symbol lookup, use leindex_grep_symbols.
- Instead of
rg or grep for exact text matches, use leindex_text_search.
- Instead of manually tracing callers/callees, use
leindex_symbol_lookup or leindex_context.
- Instead of manual refactor guessing, use
leindex_impact_analysis, leindex_edit_preview, and leindex_rename_symbol.
Response discipline:
- Favor the narrowest LeIndex tool that answers the question.
- Use
scope, path, offset, limit, and token-budget arguments to keep results compact.
- If LeIndex does not cover a need well, explain why before falling back to raw shell/file tools.
