MCP tools
| Tool | What it answers |
|---|---|
agents_md | Generate or verify the Living AGENTS.md |
backend_report | Route-granular backend intelligence |
blast_radius | What depends on a file or symbol, and how risky changing it is |
breaking_change_hints | Deprecated |
capabilities | List every Core analysis capability and consent-gated integration with availability and a reason when unavailable |
changed_paths | List workspace-relative paths changed in the working tree, or against an optional git base ref |
configure | Read or update gitignored Dispatch settings |
dependency_cycles | Import and re-export cycles, each returned as the list of files forming the loop |
dependency_graph | The import/re-export dependency graph, at file level or aggregated to packages |
dependency_route | Show how one file or symbol reaches another through the dependency graph, with alternative paths |
dispatch_doctor | Check whether Dispatch can run local teammates |
engineering_health | The deep engineering view |
explain_area | Explain what a module or folder does |
explore_code | Everything about one file or symbol in a single call |
feature_graph | Inferred features and how they depend on each other |
find_references | Find resolved references to a symbol — who actually calls or imports it |
find_symbol | Find indexed symbols by exact name, optionally narrowed by file or kind |
guard_session | Rank the current dirty session — working-tree changes minus preExistingChanges, when you have that list from a job — by blast risk, so a human reads the highest-risk file first |
health_history | Health score over time from stored index snapshots and optional git backfill |
init | One-time worker sign-in so Prism can run local job teammates |
job_control | Pause, resume, retry, reverify, cancel, delete, confirm, add context to, commit, keep, or restore files for a Dispatch job |
job_logs | The console for one Dispatch job |
knowledge_graph | The symbol-level graph — declarations and the references between them — with summary stats |
landmarks | Named entrypoints, package roots and feature anchors — the places a human would open first |
list_features | Inferred features with their member files and a confidence score |
list_findings | Queueable findings from the last index |
list_jobs | Where are we |
list_packages | List the packages in a monorepo with their roots |
prepare_change | One call before you edit |
queue_finding | Hand one finding from a report tool (engineering_health, security_report, testing_report, or another Intelligence report) to a background teammate |
remember | Save, list, or forget scoped memories that Dispatch injects into the next start_job prompt |
rename_impact | Every edit site a rename would touch, plus breaking-change hints for public surface |
repository_dna | Identify what a repository is |
repository_health | Score overall repository health from 0-100 with the per-factor breakdown behind the score |
repository_map | Return the repository's structural map at a zoom level |
repository_overview | The dashboard summary in one call |
review_changes | Review changed paths in one call |
safe_delete | Whether a file or symbol can be deleted safely |
search_symbols | Substring or regex search over indexed symbol names (unlike find_symbol, which is exact-match only) |
security_report | Left-shift security posture |
sleep | Park Prism |
stack_profile | Detected stack for the workspace or a single package |
start_job | Hand a code change to a background teammate |
start_my_day | Standup briefing for this repository |
test_impact | Which test files transitively cover a change target — the tests worth running after touching it |
testing_report | Test structure and, when coverage artifacts are already on disk, coverage |
use_skill | Load a Prism skill from the user's Prism-only library (~/.prism/dispatch/skills), or an inherited skill that ships with Prism |
wake | Bring Prism back |
work_order | The work order for a task |
working_set | Get or patch the accumulated files, symbols, decisions and neighbors for a job (M-073), so a resume does not rediscover context it already has |
workspace_status | Compact workspace readiness |
