| allowed-tools | Read, Grep, Bash(ast-grep:*), Bash(sg:*) |
ast-grep allows searching code based on its Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), enabling syntax-aware pattern matching. It is ideal for finding function calls, method invocations, variable declarations, and other code structures while respecting language syntax.
