read_file
Read a bounded source span or one exact indexed symbol. Large ranges are compacted so agent UIs receive structure instead of implementation floods.
How to use it
Project documentation lists read_file for the Satori MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.

Inspect advisory callers, callees, imports, and exports when supported. Verify inbound leads before blast-radius changes.
Reveal more of one frozen result set without rerunning retrieval. Use it when the initial disclosure is relevant but incomplete.
List the indexed symbols and spans in one file. Use it to choose an exact owner before reading implementation.
List known indexed repositories, readiness, and runtime-owner state. Use it to discover existing publications before creating another one.
Manage the repository-intelligence Publication: create the first index, synchronize source changes, inspect readiness, cancel a live supervised sync, recover with reindex, or clear index state. Managed offline runtimes automatically start or join rebuild-safe background reindex maintenance; explicit
Search the repository-intelligence Publication with semantic, lexical, and exact evidence and return owner-oriented results. Start here for behavior, ownership, configuration, or path discovery.
