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.
mcp_tools	["tapps_server_info"]

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.
