Debugging Malloy Errors

Tool names are written bare here - get_context, execute_query, search_malloy_docs. The exact prefixed name depends on the host surface; match each against the tools you actually have.

Get Diagnostics

Claude Code (in VS Code terminal): Call mcp__ide__getDiagnostics with the file URI.

VS Code Copilot / Cursor: Use the ReadLints tool on the file path, or open the file and check lints in the editor.

Claude Code (standalone terminal): No IDE diagnostics available. Ask the user to open the file in VS Code with the Malloy extension and report the errors.

Strategy

Errors cascade. Later errors may be caused by or hidden behind earlier ones. Fix the FIRST error only, re-check diagnostics, repeat. Do not attempt to fix multiple errors at once.
