Scout Tools

Scout exposes three tools over MCP stdio. find is the front door; the other two are operational.

Use the exact tool names in agent prompts when you want the MCP client to search the workspace or check index health.

Search

find
Primary search over the workspace: strict modes (literal, regex, word) are exhaustive with deterministic order; fuzzy is ranked top-N with frecency. target: auto routes by query shape and every response echoes the resolved route.

Status and Index Lifecycle

server_status
Reports index, watcher, and tier health; detected sibling compiler servers (Glider and TGlider); store size; and license and telemetry state.
sync
Flushes pending watcher changes into the index; full: true forces a complete re-scan. Rarely needed because every query self-flushes.

Notes

  • A zero-hit strict search returns an honest empty result; Scout suggests a fuzzy retry in hints but never silently falls back.
  • In this release, symbols, structural, and semantic targets answer from the lexical tier with meta.degraded set.
  • Scout never mutates workspace source; its only writes are its own index state.
