# Srclight

> Use this tool when you need to efficiently index and search large codebases, enabling AI agents to quickly locate specific code snippets and understand complex software structures. Srclight solves problems related to code discovery, navigation, and analysis, providing inputs such as code repositories and outputs like relevant code matches and call graphs. Ideal for use cases where local, self-contained code indexing is required, such as in development environments or secure software projects.
