get_type_info

[analysis]

Gets detailed information about a type (members, inheritance, interfaces, docs, and location).

Why this tool exists

Agents need enough source and member detail to act, but whole files are often too much context.

How it helps the agent

These tools provide bounded, structured slices of types and methods so the model can inspect intent without flooding the prompt.
