Aegis Overview
wei9072/aegis MCP server analyzes proposed file contents and returns structured findings for syntax, code signals, security patterns, and workspace relationships. Its single `validate_file` tool accepts new content, optional previous content for deltas, and an optional workspace root for cross-file analysis. It uses tree-sitter parsing and an mtime-cached workspace index. Reach for it when an agent needs factual change analysis for brownfield code, not automatic fixes, verdicts, or enforcement.
Primary Use Cases for Aegis:
- Inspect proposed edits for parser errors
- Compare structural signals before and after a change
- Identify security anti-patterns in supported source files
- Check workspace changes for import cycles
