Request

Property	Type	Required	Description
`scope`	`object \| null`	No	The scope to analyse.
`granularity`	`string enum ("Project", "Namespace", "Type")`	No	The dependency graph granularity.
`cyclesLimit`	`integer \| null`	No	Maximum number of results to return.
`nodesLimit`	`integer \| null`	No	The maximum number of graph nodes to analyse.
`edgesLimit`	`integer \| null`	No	The maximum number of graph edges to analyse.
`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/cycles

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
