ToolCategoryAnnotationsRisk
build_deep_index Build the deep index (full symbol extraction) for the current project. This performs a complete re-index and loads it into memory. Uses parallel processing by default. For large codebases (3000+ files), tuning max_workers can significantly improve build times. Args: max_workers: Maximum number of parallel workers for file processing. Defaults to min(4, cpu_count) when not specified. Increase for I/O-bound workloads on machines with many cores. timeout: Parallel build timeout in seconds. When not specified, scales dynamically based on file count (0.5s per file, min 30s, max 600s).
