Analyze an arbitrary codebase to identify functions, APIs, and data sources suitable for exposure as MCP tools, producing a tool specification document. Use when planning an MCP server for an existing project, auditing a codebase before wrapping it as an AI-accessible tool surface, comparing what a codebase can do versus what is already exposed via MCP, or generating a tool spec to hand off to scaffold-mcp-server.

Scan a codebase to discover functions, REST endpoints, CLI commands, and data access patterns that are good candidates for MCP tool exposure, then produce a structured tool specification document.
1.1. Use Glob to map the directory tree, focusing on source directories:
1.3. Count total files, lines of code, and exported symbols to gauge project size.
