All Tools Available at All Tiers¶

Important: All 22 Code Scalpel tools are available at all tiers (Community, Pro, and Enterprise). What differs by tier are the limits and features of each tool, not their availability.

Tool Limits by Tier¶

Here's how tool limits increase across tiers:

Example: symbolic_execute Across All Tiers¶

Community Tier (✅ Available):

symbolic_execute(code, entry_point="main")
# Max 10 execution paths, depth 3
# Returns: {paths: [...], tier_applied: "community", was_truncated: True}

Pro Tier (✅ Available with enhanced limits):

symbolic_execute(code, entry_point="main")
# Max 100 execution paths, depth 10
# Returns: {paths: [...], tier_applied: "pro", was_truncated: False}

Enterprise Tier (✅ Available unlimited):

symbolic_execute(code, entry_point="main")
# Unlimited execution paths and depth
# Returns: {paths: [...], tier_applied: "enterprise", was_truncated: False}

How Tier Limits Work¶

When you use a tool, Code Scalpel applies your tier's limits automatically.

Example: Call Graph¶

# Community tier: max_depth=3, max_nodes=50
result = get_call_graph(
    project_root="/project",
    depth=10  # Requested
)
# Result shows:
# - tier_applied: "community"
# - max_depth_applied: 3  # Capped
# - was_truncated: True   # Couldn't show full graph

# Pro tier: max_depth=50, max_nodes=500
result = get_call_graph(
    project_root="/project",
    depth=10  # Requested
)
# Result shows:
# - tier_applied: "pro"
# - max_depth_applied: 10  # Full depth used
# - was_truncated: False

Response Metadata¶

Every tool response includes tier information:

{
  "data": { ... },
  "tier_applied": "pro",
  "max_depth_applied": 50,
  "max_nodes_applied": 500,
  "was_truncated": false,
  "duration_ms": 234
}
