[architecture]

Summarizes loaded workspace project file formats and project kinds for SDK-style migration planning. Returns aggregate counts, optional filtered project details, and optional dependency layers.

Why this tool exists

Project graphs, dependencies, unused references, and complexity are too large to infer reliably from scattered files.

How it helps the agent

The model can reason from architecture-level facts before deleting references, moving code, or prioritizing risky areas.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
format	string	No	Optional format filter: 'sdkStyle', 'legacy', or 'unknown'. Omit for all formats.
kind	string	No	Optional kind filter: 'library', 'exe', 'classicWeb', 'test', or 'unknown'. Omit for all kinds.
includeLayers	boolean	No	Include dependency-layer groups for the filtered projects. Default is false.
includeProjects	boolean	No	Include filtered project detail rows. Default is true.
pathStyle	string	No	Path style: 'absolute' (default) or 'relative' (to solution root).
