code_context

code_context returns a combined view: the target function’s full code, every function that calls it, and every function it calls. It replaces three separate tool calls (code_get, code_callers, code_callees) with one.

Usage

code_context(name="OrderService.checkout")
code_context(name="UserService", compact=true)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
name	string	required	Symbol to inspect
compact	boolean	false	Show callers and callees as signatures only (saves ~70% tokens)
depth	number	1	Levels of related functions to include

Output

--- Code ---
async checkout(order: Order): Promise<Receipt> {
  const charge = await PaymentService.charge(order.total);
  await InventoryService.reserve(order.items);
  ...
}

--- Callers (2) ---
OrderController.create   (src/controllers/order.ts:31)
OrderService.retry       (src/services/order.ts:201)

--- Callees (3) ---
PaymentService.charge    (src/services/payment.ts:18)
InventoryService.reserve (src/services/inventory.ts:91)
NotificationService.send (src/services/notify.ts:33)

When to use

• Understanding an unfamiliar function and its connections in one shot
• Before refactoring — see what depends on the function and what it depends on
• Code review — quickly understand a changed function’s blast radius

compact mode

Use compact=true when you only need to know which functions are connected, not their full bodies:

code_context(name="AuthService", compact=true)

This keeps caller and callee entries to one line each, cutting token usage by roughly 70%.
