get_outgoing_calls

[callgraph]

Find methods and constructors called within lexical method bodies, including nested functions. Optional invocation spans guide source reads for behavior and conditions.

Call-site windows, declaration keys and spans, and collection coverage remain unreleased. Check the installed schema for includeCallSites. Published 13.0.0 has no caller-span option.

Response Notes

The unreleased result extends outgoingCalls with constructed typeArguments and definition.symbolKey plus definition.span for the source declaration. Pass definition.symbolKey to source tools. A null definition means source is unavailable. Local callable keys are null with symbolKeyUnavailableReason=localCallable. Optional callSites contain callerSymbolKey, callerFullName, projectName, filePath, span, depth, attribution, and containingCallableKind. Lines and UTF-16 columns are one-based; ends are exclusive. attribution=analyzedMethod attributes nested lambda and local-function calls to the analyzed method. Spans locate syntax; read source for branch conditions. Collection covers lexical bodies and includes nested functions, with a 250-method limit. Constructors retain kind=Method. Compiler-recognized nameof expressions contribute neither calls nor unresolved invocations. User methods named nameof remain calls when the compiler resolves them. Check collectionCoverage.complete and its timeout, expansion, skipped-body, and unresolved-invocation fields. Incomplete collection marks outgoingCallCountIsFloor, callSiteCountIsFloor, and callSitePaging.totalIsFloor. Target paging and per-target callSitePaging are independent. Keep traversal arguments and the target page unchanged when following callSitePaging.nextSkip. Response limits can shorten either page. If no sites fit, follow guidance to reduce target take or increase the response limit. Page completion does not establish collection completeness. Results use top-level fields with success. Compact is the default; full adds responseDiagnostics. Both modes retain errors, coverage, partial state, and recovery advice.

For a failed symbol-key request, success=false includes errorCode, parameter, error, and suggestions in compact, full, and batch operation results. Batch keeps a bounded summary outside the requested detail budget. If the hard server limit omits details, failureDetailsOmitted or writeStateOmitted identifies the omission. errorCode is invalid_symbol_key, symbol_not_found, ambiguous_symbol_key, wrong_symbol_kind, source_unavailable, unsupported_symbol, or invalid_arguments. Follow the suggestions for the specific failure. Correct the named selector for invalid_arguments. For symbol_not_found, repeat discovery in the selected workspace and pass a returned key unchanged. An absent identity does not prove that a key is stale.
