[callgraph]

Finds methods that call a given method. Requires a symbolKey.

Why this tool exists

Bugs and regressions follow execution paths, not file names.

How it helps the agent

The model can trace callers, outgoing calls, and impact before choosing where to patch or how far a change may spread.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
symbolKey	string	Yes	Opaque symbolKey from search_symbols, resolve_symbol, get_symbol_at_position, or any tool that returns symbolKey. Not a name.
scope	json	No	Optional scope for call site search.
skip	number	No	Pagination offset. Default is 0.
take	number	No	Pagination size. Default is 200.
pathStyle	string	No	Path style: 'absolute' (default) or 'relative' (to solution root).
