This is a structural over-estimate. It's not a prediction that anything will break, and it doesn't verify anything. **No dependents found in this view** means nothing in the loaded graph depends on the node within that depth. Dynamic and external callers may not be represented.

## Very large repositories

When a repository's graph has more functions and files than the browser can lay out, the graph page shows **This graph is too large to draw node by node**. Instead of drawing every node, it shows a precomputed map of the graph's structure, with the full node and edge totals. MCP and Ask still answer from the full graph, so your agents and questions aren't limited by the map.

Some builds can't be shown this way, including any made before October 27, 2026. They show **This graph is too large to display** instead. Index the repository again to make a new build.

## Plan limits

Combining graphs needs an active plan. The Free plan (up to 3 repositories) needs no card. Pro and Teams start with a 14-day trial, card required.
