codegraph

A command-line tool that builds a searchable map of a codebase, including its symbols, files, calls, and dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find where code is defined, build context for a task, trace callers, assess change impact, and identify affected tests.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand unfamiliar code and predict what may be affected by a change.

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

codegraph 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 — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CodeGraph

CodeGraph builds a local semantic graph of a codebase and exposes CLI commands for indexing, symbol search, task context, file structure, call relationships, impact analysis, and affected-test discovery.

Use this tool when a repository has or should have a .codegraph/ index and the task needs structural code intelligence: "where is this symbol", "how does this area work", "who calls this", "what might break if I change it", or "which tests are affected by these files".

IMPORTANT: How to Use This Tool

This is a dedicated built-in tool named codegraph. You MUST follow these rules:

  1. Do NOT use shell_command to run CodeGraph commands. The gateway blocks attempts to run codegraph or npx -y @colbymchenry/codegraph through shell_command when this tool is enabled. Always use this codegraph tool.

  2. Executing commands (skillToken required):

    • Every exec value MUST start with the codegraph prefix.
    • You MUST include the skillToken returned from reading this document.
    • Example: codegraph({"exec": "codegraph status", "cwd": "D:/project", "skillToken": "<token>"})
  3. The gateway runs CodeGraph through npx. You write codegraph ..., and the gateway executes npx -y @colbymchenry/codegraph ... directly without a shell wrapper.

  4. This is NOT the CodeGraph MCP server integration. Do not run codegraph serve --mcp. This built-in tool only supports selected CLI commands. Upstream MCP-only tools such as codegraph_trace, codegraph_explore, and codegraph_node are not available through this built-in tool.

Prerequisites

Node.js/npm must be installed so npx is available. The upstream npm package currently requires a supported Node runtime, and the first call may download or refresh the @colbymchenry/codegraph npm package cache.

Always set cwd to the project root or a directory inside the configured allowed directories. CodeGraph stores its local SQLite index under .codegraph/.

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.

codegraph is a skill published in the GitHub repository aiguicai/MCP-Gateway (153 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 1,311 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 2026-08-30.
