| `check_runtime_coverage` | Merge V8 or Istanbul runtime-coverage data into the health report. One local capture is free; continuous/cloud or multi-capture runtime monitoring is paid. Required `coverage` param (V8 dir, V8 JSON, or Istanbul `coverage-final.json`). Tuning knobs: `min_invocations_hot` (default 100), `min_observation_volume` (default 5000), `low_traffic_threshold` (default 0.001), `max_crap` (default 30.0), `top`, `group_by`. Long dumps may exceed the 120s MCP timeout; raise `FALLOW_TIMEOUT_SECS`. Pick this over `check_health` when you have a coverage dump. |

| `trace_file` | Trace all graph edges for a file (`fallow dead-code --trace-file PATH --format json`). Required `file`. Returns reachability, exports, imports-from, imported-by, and re-exports. Use to decide whether a file is isolated, barrel-only, or imported by live entry points |

| `trace_dependency` | Trace where a dependency is imported (`fallow dead-code --trace-dependency PACKAGE --format json`). Required `package_name`. Returns importing files, type-only importers, total import count, `used_in_scripts` (true when invoked from package.json scripts or CI configs), and `is_used` (combined import + script signal; mirrors the unused-deps detector so build tools like `microbundle` or `vitest` are not falsely flagged as unused). Use before removing a dependency or moving between `dependencies` and `devDependencies` |

+
- `ignoreExportsUsedInFile`: knip-compatible; suppress unused-export findings when the exported symbol is referenced inside the file that declares it. Boolean (`true` covers all kinds) or `{ "type": true, "interface": true }` object form for knip parity. Fallow groups type aliases and interfaces under the same `unused-types` issue, so both type-kind fields behave identically. References inside the export specifier itself (`export { foo }`, `export default foo`) do not count as same-file uses; those exports are still reported when no other in-file expression references the binding
|
|
347
344
|
- `publicPackages`: workspace packages that are public libraries; exported API surface from these packages is not flagged as unused
|
|
348
345
|
- `dynamicallyLoaded`: glob patterns for files loaded at runtime (plugin dirs, locale files); treated as always-used
|
|
349
|
-
- `usedClassMembers`: class method/property names that extend the built-in Angular/React lifecycle allowlist with framework-invoked names. Each entry is a plain string (global suppression) or a scoped object `{ extends?, implements?, members }` matching only classes with the given heritage. Use scoped rules for common names like `refresh` or `execute` to avoid false negatives on unrelated classes; global strings for unique names like `agInit`. Example: `["agInit", { "implements": "ICellRendererAngularComp", "members": ["refresh"] }, { "extends": "BaseCommand", "members": ["execute"] }]`. An unconstrained scoped rule (no `extends` or `implements`) is rejected at load time. Use plugin-level `usedClassMembers` in a `.fallow/plugins/*.jsonc` file for library-specific allowlists

- `usedClassMembers`: class method/property names that extend the built-in Angular/React lifecycle allowlist with framework-invoked names. Each entry is a plain string (global suppression) or a scoped object `{ extends?, implements?, members }` matching only classes with the given heritage. Strings can be exact names (`"agInit"`) or glob patterns (`"*"` matches every member, `"enter*"` prefix, `"*Handler"` suffix, `"on*Event"` combined). Use scoped rules for common names like `refresh` or `execute` to avoid false negatives on unrelated classes; global strings for unique names like `agInit`. Example: `["agInit", { "implements": "ICellRendererAngularComp", "members": ["refresh"] }, { "extends": "BaseCommand", "members": ["execute"] }, { "extends": "GrammarBaseListener", "members": ["enter*", "exit*"] }]`. Glob patterns that match zero members emit a `WARN` so dead allowlist entries surface. An unconstrained scoped rule (no `extends` or `implements`) is rejected at load time.

- `resolve.conditions`: additional package.json `exports` / `imports` condition names to honor during module resolution. Baseline conditions (`development`, `import`, `require`, `default`, `types`, `node`, plus `react-native` / `browser` under RN/Expo) are always included; user entries prepend ahead of them. Use for community conditions like `worker`, `edge-light`, `deno`, or custom bundler conditions. Example: `{ "resolve": { "conditions": ["worker", "edge-light"] } }`
