Run: `classpath-surfer search symbol "$ARGUMENTS" --agentic --limit 20`

If the output contains "Index is stale" or "No index found", run:
1. `classpath-surfer index refresh`
2. `classpath-surfer search symbol "$ARGUMENTS" --agentic --limit 20`

Present results as a markdown table with columns: Symbol, Kind, Signature, Dependency.
