> Check index statistics for a project

## Overview

Returns statistics about the current index for a project directory, including the embedding provider, model, dimensions, and the default score threshold.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type     | Default  | Description                                    |
| --------- | -------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `path`    | `string` | required | Absolute path to the indexed project directory |

## Example

```
get_index_status("/path/to/myproject")
```

**Returns:**

```
Index status for: /path/to/myproject
  Files indexed:  142
  Total chunks:   1847
  Last indexed:   2026-02-22T07:20:31+00:00
  Index size:     28.4 MB
  Provider:       local
  Model:          isuruwijesiri/all-MiniLM-L6-v2-code-search-512
  Dimensions:     384
  Compute device: Metal (Apple Silicon)
  Min score:      0.35 (default, override via search_code min_score param)
```
