Description
Kaktoos helps AI coding agents understand what a change could affect — and independently verify it. Before a change, Kaktoos provides grounded engineering context around existing services, APIs, workflows, dependencies, and ownership through MCP. After a change, it analyzes the PR or commit, identifies potential impact, and runs existing API verification workflows to produce actual evidence. Understand before you change. Verify after you change.

Could you build this?
Partial Creating an MCP server wrapper or basic git PR analyzer is straightforward, but robust static and dynamic dependency analysis across complex multi-service codebases requires sophisticated program analysis and AST tooling.
What it would actually take: A production version needs an architecture consisting of AST parsers (e.g. tree-sitter, language servers) coupled with call-graph and dependency-graph extractors to map cross-service contracts. The core difficulty is accurately tracing API contracts, distributed dependencies, and ownership blast-radius across polyglot microservices without high false-positive rates. It requires deep expertise in compiler theory, program analysis, and distributed tracing systems.
