[analysis]

Gets source code for a method (bounded by max lines).

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.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
methodName	string	Yes	Method name.
containingTypeName	string	No	Optional containing type name filter.
projectName	string	No	Optional project name filter.
maxLines	number	No	Max lines to return. Use 0 for unlimited. Default is 120.
bodyOnly	boolean	No	If true, return only the method body (no signature). Default is false.
pathStyle	string	No	Path style: 'absolute' (default) or 'relative' (to solution root).
