lint_tonel_smalltalk_from_file
AI agents call lint_tonel_smalltalk_from_file to retrieve information from Smalltalk Validator without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Linting and validation are static analysis operations that examine code structure and style without side effects. The tool reads a file, analyzes its contents, and reports results—no data is modified, deleted, or executed. This is purely a Read category operation with low severity since misuse would only return incorrect analysis results, not cause data loss or system harm.
