How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
add_comment Add comment ~52
Attach a plate comment at an address. Persists into the Ghidra project, so notes made here show up in the Ghidra GUI.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| address | string | yes | – |
| text | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
call_graph Call graph ~57
Draw the callers and callees around one function as a navigable graph. Depth is capped at 3 because call graphs fan out exponentially.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| address | string | – | – |
| depth | integer | – | – |
| name | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
decompile Decompile function ~67
Decompile one function to C and show it in an interactive view. Identify the function by address (hex) or by name.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| address | string | – | Entry point, e.g. 0x140001000 |
| name | string | – | Function name, e.g. main |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
find_strings Find strings ~47
Search defined string data. Usually the fastest way into an unknown binary - find the message, then look at what references it.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | – |
| query | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_functions List functions ~66
Browse the program's functions in a sortable table. Filter by substring; sort by address, name, size or caller count.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | – |
| offset | integer | – | – |
| query | string | – | Case-insensitive name filter |
| sort | string | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
open_binary Open binary ~80
Load an executable into the Ghidra session and run auto-analysis. Slow the first time for a given file (seconds to minutes); cached in the Ghidra project afterwards. Must be called before anything else.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| analyze | boolean | – | Run auto-analysis. Only set false if already analysed. |
| path | string | yes | Absolute path to the executable |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
program_info Program info ~20
What is currently open: format, architecture, function count.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
rename_symbol Rename symbol ~92
Rename a function, or a local variable inside one. Pass old_name to rename a local; omit it to rename the function itself. This is what a click on an identifier in the decompiler view fires.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| address | string | yes | Address of the function that owns the symbol |
| new_name | string | yes | – |
| old_name | string | – | Current local-variable name. Omit to rename the function. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
save_program Save program ~37
