MCP Tools

| Task | MCP Tool |

|------|----------|

| Find Dead Code | addon.deadcode(addon="MyAddon") |

| Find Stale Docs | docs.stale(addon="MyAddon") |

| Filter by Confidence | addon.deadcode(addon="MyAddon", include_suspicious=false) |

Capabilities

  1. Dead Code Detection β€” Find unused functions, orphaned files, dead exports
  2. Stale Docs Detection β€” Find broken links, outdated refs, version drift
  3. Confidence Levels β€” Definite (100%), Likely (90%+), Suspicious (70%+)

Detection Categories

Dead Code (`addon.deadcode`)

| Category | Description |

|----------|-------------|

| unused_function | Functions defined but never called |

| orphaned_file | Lua files not in TOC |

| dead_export | Exported values never used |

| unused_library | Libraries in Libs/ never used |

| stale_event | Event handlers for unregistered events |

| commented_code | Large blocks of commented-out code |

Stale Docs (`docs.stale`)

| Category | Description |

|----------|-------------|

| dead_link | Internal links to non-existent files |

| dead_reference | Mentions of functions/files that don't exist |

| version_drift | Old version numbers in documentation |

| relative_staleness | Docs not updated in many commits |

Workflow

Quick Cleanup

  1. Run addon.deadcode with include_suspicious=false for high-confidence issues only
  2. Remove identified dead code
  3. Run docs.stale to find documentation issues
  4. Fix broken links and update outdated references

Deep Cleanup

  1. Run addon.deadcode with all confidence levels
  2. Manually verify suspicious findings before removal
  3. Run docs.stale with all techniques
  4. Update documentation to match current code

Confidence Interpretation

| Level | Meaning | Action |

|-------|---------|--------|

| Definite | 100% certain (e.g., file not in TOC) | Safe to remove |

| Likely | 90%+ certain (e.g., function never called) | Review briefly, usually safe |

| Suspicious | 70%+ certain (e.g., dynamic code patterns) | Manual verification required |

Best Practices

  1. Start with definite issues β€” These are safe to fix immediately
  2. Check dynamic patterns β€” _G, rawget, loadstring may hide usage
  3. Preserve intentional dead code β€” Mark with -- KEEP: comment if needed
  4. Update docs after code changes β€” Run docs.stale after refactoring
