      description: 'Cross-check the graph and vector stores of a dataset for consistency.


        Detects orphaned edges (referencing deleted nodes), nodes whose id no

        longer matches cognee''s own dedup contract, and nodes present in the

        graph but missing from the vector index (unreachable by semantic

        search). Read-only — never modifies any store.
