+# Codacy Rules
+Configuration for AI behavior when interacting with Codacy's MCP Server
+
+## CRITICAL: After ANY successful `edit_file` or `reapply` operation
+- YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY run the `codacy_cli_analyze` tool from Codacy's MCP Server for each file that was edited, with:
+ - `rootPath`: set to the workspace path
+ - `file`: set to the path of the edited file
+ - `tool`: leave empty or unset
+- If any issues are found in the new edits, propose and apply fixes for them.
+- > NOTE: Failure to follow this rule is considered a critical error.
+
+## After every response
+- If you made any file edits in this conversation, verify you ran `codacy_cli_analyze` tool from Codacy's MCP Server 
+
+## When there are no Codacy MCP Server tools available, or the MCP Server is not reachable
+- Suggest the user the following troubleshooting steps:
+ - Try to reset the MCP on the extension
+ - If the user is using VSCode, suggest them to review their Copilot > MCP settings in Github, under their organization or personal account. Refer them to Settings > Copilot > Enable MCP servers in Copilot. Suggested URL (https://github.com/settings/copilot/features) or https://github.com/organizations/{organization-name}/settings/copilot/features (This can only be done by their organization admins / owners)
+- If none of the above steps work, suggest the user to contact Codacy support
+
+## Trying to call a tool that needs a rootPath as a parameter
+- Always use the standard, non-URL-encoded file system path
+
+## CRITICAL: Dependencies and Security Checks
+- IMMEDIATELY after ANY of these actions:
+ - Running npm/yarn/pnpm install
+ - Adding dependencies to package.json
+ - Adding requirements to requirements.txt
+ - Adding dependencies to pom.xml
+ - Adding dependencies to build.gradle
+ - Any other package manager operations
+- You MUST run the `codacy_cli_analyze` tool with:
+ - `rootPath`: set to the workspace path
+ - `tool`: set to "trivy"
+ - `file`: leave empty or unset
+- If any vulnerabilities are found because of the newly added packages:
+ - Stop all other operations
+ - Propose and apply fixes for the security issues
+ - Only continue with the original task after security issues are resolved
+- EXAMPLE:
+ - After: npm install react-markdown
+ - Do: Run codacy_cli_analyze with trivy
+ - Before: Continuing with any other tasks
+
+## General
+- Repeat the relevant steps for each modified file.
+- "Propose fixes" means to both suggest and, if possible, automatically apply the fixes.
+- You MUST NOT wait for the user to ask for analysis or remind you to run the tool.
+- Do not run `codacy_cli_analyze` looking for changes in duplicated code or code complexity metrics.
+- Do not run `codacy_cli_analyze` looking for changes in code coverage.
+- Do not try to manually install Codacy CLI using either brew, npm, npx, or any other package manager.
+- If the Codacy CLI is not installed, just run the `codacy_cli_analyze` tool from Codacy's MCP Server.
+- When calling `codacy_cli_analyze`, only send provider, organization and repository if the project is a git repository.
+
+## Whenever a call to a Codacy tool that uses `repository` or `organization` as a parameter returns a 404 error
+- Offer to run the `codacy_setup_repository` tool to add the repository to Codacy
+- If the user accepts, run the `codacy_setup_repository` tool
+- Do not ever try to run the `codacy_setup_repository` tool on your own
+- After setup, immediately retry the action that failed (only retry once)
