title "Get Control Flow Graph"

Request

Property Type Required Description
maxBlocks integer | null No The maximum number of projected basic blocks.
maxRegions integer | null No The maximum number of projected flow regions.
maxOperationsPerBlock integer | null No The maximum number of projected operations in each basic block.
symbol object No Symbol whose control-flow graph should be returned.
location object No Source location whose enclosing executable body should be graphed.
expectedSnapshot object | null No Echo the snapshot returned with the data or transaction state used to construct this request.
workspace object | null No Provide workspaceId, alias, path, or any combination.

Response

Success response

Property Type Required Description
ok boolean constant (true) Yes Whether the tool invocation succeeded.
data object | null Yes Tool-specific result payload.
snapshot object Yes Exact immutable workspace snapshot associated with the result, when available.

Error response

Property Type Required Description
ok boolean constant (false) Yes Whether the tool invocation succeeded.
error object Yes Structured error details when the invocation failed.
continuation oneOf No Action the agent should take before retrying or continuing.

Bounded collections and continuation

These response locations publish returned items with explicit bounds and continuation state:

  • $/oneOf/0/properties/data/properties/blocks
  • $/oneOf/0/properties/data/properties/blocks/properties/items/items/properties/operations
  • $/oneOf/0/properties/data/properties/regions

Continuations and required actions

A non-success response may include a structured continuation at the following schema location. Follow its tool call or user-action instruction instead of guessing how to retry:

  • $/oneOf/1/properties/continuation
