Symbol Documentation, Type Hierarchy and Better Overviews

January 11, 2026

Recent commits and a new plugin release contain major new features!

• Symbol Documentation: The `find_symbol` and `find_referencing_symbols` tools (and their JetBrains variants) now can return information about the symbol (docstring and signature).
• Type Hierarchy Tool: A new tool that can fetch a Symbol's hierarchy. This tool is very useful in many situations, currently only available through the JetBrains plugin.
• Better Overviews: The `get_symbols_overview` tools now return a much more compact representation, saving many tokens. The JetBrains variant of the tool can now return a file's docstring (LSP varian't can't do that yet).

For more detailed information, see our changelog.
