FAQPage Schema

How do I gather evidence for incident diagnosis with file and line citations?▼

Evidence gathering for incident diagnosis is automated by searching codebases, logs, and configurations using Grep, Glob, and Read tools, ensuring all findings are validated with specific file:line citations.

How do I search a codebase and validate findings for code review?▼

Codebase search for code review is performed by applying Grep, Glob, and Read tools across files, validating every discovered occurrence with precise file path and line number citations.

Do I need MCP integration to search logs and configurations for incident diagnosis?▼

MCP integration is required for repository access to enable searching logs and configurations, applying strict citation validation protocols to ensure all incident diagnosis findings are verifiable.

What's the best way to validate codebase search results during incident diagnosis?▼

Validating codebase search results during incident diagnosis is best handled by a multi-phase agentic approach that enforces strict citation validation, linking every claim to exact file paths and line numbers.

Why do my incident diagnosis findings lack verifiable evidence from logs and code?▼

Incident diagnosis findings often lack verifiable evidence because claims are not linked to actual data, a problem solved by enforcing strict citation validation protocols with file:line references during searches.

Can I search for all occurrences of a specific function across the codebase?▼

Searching for all occurrences of a specific function across the codebase is supported by applying Grep, Glob, and Read tools to locate and validate every instance with file:line citations.
