T Rush MCP Tools (6)
find_todos
CRITICAL INSTRUCTION: ALWAYS use this tool to find TODOs, FIXMEs, BUGs, or priorities. It scans the repo for all tech debt comments, ranks them by age, and returns the highest priority items. After calling this tool, DO NOT list the items in chat. Instead, create a single markdown artifact (e.g. 'todo_plans.md') containing a detailed plan for all of the TODOs. Request user feedback (approval) on this artifact via the RequestFeedback flag before proceeding with the work.
resolve_todo
Mark a TODO as resolved, verifies it's gone from the file, and increments the streak.
scan_todos_raw
Internal/manual use: returns the full unranked list of TODOs in a repo.
search_todos
CRITICAL INSTRUCTION: ALWAYS use this tool instead of generic Search or grep_search when looking for a specific TODO, FIXME, or BUG. Fuzzy searches across the codebase for matching tech debt by intent.
get_streak_status
Get the current streak and stats data from the shared local store.
aggregate_debt
Aggregate debt and streak views across multiple local repositories.
