Re-scan and diff against a prior scan

codeinspectus_rescan
Read-onlyIdempotent

Verify approved fixes by rescanning a repository and diffing against a previous scan; it reports resolved, remaining, and newly introduced findings plus fresh coverage, without writing to code.

Instructions

Re-run a scan after fixes were applied and diff against a prior scan_id (or the most recent scan of the same path). Reports which findings are resolved, which remain, and which were newly introduced, plus fresh technology and native-pack execution coverage. Repository-trust artifacts are diffed separately with fail-closed resolved, remaining, introduced and not-rechecked states. Use this to verify approved fixes. Never writes to your code or repo.

A4.3/5.0
Behavior5/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The description adds meaningful behavioral detail beyond the annotations: it reports resolved/remaining/newly introduced findings, fresh technology and native-pack coverage, and fail-closed states for repository-trust artifacts. It also reassures that the tool never writes to code or repo, matching the readOnlyHint and destructiveHint annotations without contradiction.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is compact and front-loaded with the core operation. Each sentence adds distinct value: the action, the diff output, the trust-artifact nuance, the intended use, and the read-only guarantee. There is no wasted content.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a rescan tool with an output schema and read-only annotations, the description covers the primary workflow, the diff semantics, and the safety profile. The main gap is that three optional parameters are not explained, though their names and enums are reasonably self-descriptive.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is only 40%, so the description should compensate for undocumented parameters. It does not explain scanners, max_findings, or severity_threshold, and its mention of prior_scan_id only restates what the schema already documents. The optional parameters remain underspecified.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description starts with a specific verb and resource: 'Re-run a scan... and diff against a prior scan_id.' It clearly distinguishes this from the sibling codeinspectus_scan by emphasizing the post-fix diff workflow rather than an initial scan.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It explicitly says 'Use this to verify approved fixes,' which gives a clear when-to-use trigger. It does not explicitly name an alternative or state when not to use it, but the purpose and sibling context make the intended use fairly obvious.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
