  # Veil Agent Toolkit
2
2
 
3
- Veil helps coding agents find the right code fast.
3
+ Veil is an MCP-first retrieval toolkit for coding agents.
4
4
 
5
- Without Veil, agents often:
6
-
7
- - search too many files
8
- - guess where symbols are
9
- - repeat the same scans after each change
10
-
11
- With Veil, agents can:
12
-
13
- - use `discover` to get files, symbols, and code chunks in one step
14
- - use `lookup` to get the most relevant context for the task
15
- - use `files`, `symbols`, and `search` for focused follow-up
16
- - use built-in git and web tools instead of ad hoc shell commands
17
-
18
- Agents should:
19
-
20
- - Start broad with `discover`
21
- - Narrow with `lookup`, `search`, `files`, or `symbols`
22
- - Use built-in git and web commands instead of ad hoc shell fallbacks
23
-
24
- ## What It Is For
25
-
26
- Veil is built for agents that need to move from prompt to implementation quickly.
27
-
28
- It gives the agent indexed access to files, symbols, and relevant code chunks, so it can retrieve precise context before writing code. This reduces broad file reads and repeated text scans, improves token efficiency, and shortens time to first meaningful code change.
29
-
30
- In practice, Veil acts as a local retrieval layer for coding agents: discover where code lives, resolve symbols, pull focused context, then execute edits.
5
+ It provides one compact tool surface for local code retrieval, git context, web context, and GitHub context.

  ## Capabilities
148
73
 
149
- If index build fails with `Missing required parser runtimes for enabled built-ins`, reinstall dependencies (`bun install` or `npm install`) and rerun `veil init` parser setup. In read-only environments, ensure `tree-sitter` runtime artifacts are available before running `build` or `refresh`.
150
-
151
- Use the same retrieval and context capability surface from either CLI or MCP.
152
-
153
- MCP breaking change: canonical tool names are now prefixed with `veil_` and compatibility aliases were removed.
154
-
155
- MCP responses are TOON text only and optimized for compact machine parsing. Guidance is included only when confidence is not high/full. Retrieval tools (`discover`, `lookup`, `search`) return compact chunk content by default, and full chunk content is opt-in (`--include-content` / `include_content`).
156
-
157
- Retrieval query tools run freshness checks by default and now refresh on dirty workspace changes so indexed results stay aligned with current local edits.

+ ## Notes
93
+
94
+ - MCP responses are TOON text and compact by default.
95
+ - Retrieval tools auto-refresh on stale or dirty worktrees by default.
96
+ - Full chunk content is opt-in on retrieval calls via `include_content`.
97
+ - `veil_fetch_url` blocks private/local network targets by default unless explicitly allowed.
