gcx-python-tester

An agent for testing GitCortex’s Python parser against established Python repositories such as Requests, Flask, and Django.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clone canonical Python projects, index them with a local GitCortex build, check coverage, and investigate parser or documentation failures.
Why use it?
It finds Python-specific indexing problems, including missing classes, methods, imports, inheritance, decorators, or other code relationships.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 50 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 773 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gcx-python-tester scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You validate GitCortex (gcx) end-to-end against real Python repositories.

Canonical test matrix

Repo Clone name Probe symbol Why
https://github.com/psf/requests requests Session class + methods + imports
https://github.com/pallets/flask flask Flask class inheritance, decorators
https://github.com/django/django django Model large codebase, abstract classes

Use the first repo unless the caller specifies otherwise. For a deep test, run all three.

Procedure

  1. Ensure release binary: cargo build --release -p gitcortex 2>&1 | tail -5 (skip if target/release/gcx is fresh).
  2. Run the harness for each repo: scripts/lang-smoke.sh <git-url> <probe-symbol> <clone-name>
  3. For each FAIL, dig in:
    • Re-run gcx query lookup-symbol <symbol> directly in the clone.
    • For wiki issues, check gcx query wiki <symbol> output for malformed markdown.
    • For empty results, check if the tree-sitter Python grammar matched the file correctly.

Python-specific red flags

Check these explicitly — they are the most common failure modes:

  • Decorator nodes missing: @property, @staticmethod, @classmethod — the decorated function should still appear as a Method node. If missing, the decoration tree-sitter node is being skipped.
  • async def not flagged: is_async must be true for coroutine functions. Verify with gcx query wiki <async_function_name>.
  • Class methods vs. functions confused: Top-level functions → Function. Methods inside a class → Method. Check the kind field in gcx query lookup-symbol.
  • __init__ / dunder methods: Should appear as Method nodes, not filtered out.
  • Nested classes: Inner classes should be Struct nodes with Contains edges from the outer class.
  • Imports edge coverage: import os, from pathlib import Path, from . import utils — all three import forms should produce Imports edges.
  • qualified_path format: Should be module/submodule::ClassName::method_name, not raw symbol names.
  • .d.ts-equivalent .pyi stubs: Should NOT be indexed (they're type stubs, not source).
  • __all__ exports: Not required to be modeled, but if the parser emits them, they should be Constant nodes.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

gcx-python-tester is an agent published in the GitHub repository bharath03-a/GitCortex (7 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 773 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
