Short answer

How can I check my code quality with an AI?

Your agent uses DeepSource to pull real-time metrics like test coverage and repository health. You can ask for specific reports or high-level health summaries to find where your code needs work.

Where every metric lands.

The outcomes of your queries.

Your agent processes the data and organizes it into these specific areas.

HEALTH

Repository health checks

The AI pulls status reports to show you if your codebase is stable or accumulating technical debt.

COVERAGE

Test coverage insights

Get exact percentages on how much of your code is actually covered by tests.

COMPLEXITY

Code complexity analysis

Identify overly complicated functions or files that are becoming hard to maintain.

HUMAN

Manual code review

The AI flags the issues, but you still need to jump into the editor to actually fix the logic.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The agent acts as the bridge between your chat interface and your DeepSource dashboard.

  1. Fetch health data

    The agent requests a full overview of the repository's current state.

    get_report_card

  2. Analyze coverage

    It looks up specific test coverage numbers to see where gaps exist.

    get_test_coverage

  3. Check complexity

    The agent pulls metrics regarding how difficult the code is to read or maintain.

    get_repository_metrics

  4. Summarize findings

    It combines all the retrieved data into a plain English summary for you.

    get_report_card

FAQ

Common questions

  • 01

    Can the AI fix the code issues it finds?

    No. The AI can identify and report on issues, but you must manually apply the fixes in your codebase.

  • 02

    Does the AI have permission to delete my repositories?

    No. The tools provided only allow the agent to read metrics and reports. It cannot perform destructive actions like deleting code or repos.

  • 03

    Can I see coverage for a specific file?

    Yes, you can ask the agent to check coverage for specific parts of your repository.

  • 04

    How often is the data updated?

    The AI pulls the most recent data available in DeepSource at the moment you ask the question.

  • 05

    Can the AI create new tests for me?

    No. The agent can only retrieve existing coverage data; it cannot write or execute new test files.
