Tools available to your AI assistant when Gabb is enabled

Search for symbols by name across your workspace. Find where functions, classes, and methods are defined without text-based grep searches.

gabb_symbol name="handleRequest"
# Returns: symbol location with file path and line number

Preview file structure before reading. Shows symbols with their types and line numbers. Useful for large files where you only need specific sections.

gabb_structure file="src/app.rs"
# Returns: symbol names, kinds, line numbers
