### 2026-09-05 (score 74, +4)

- [functional improvement] Stability: unverified → 0.27

## MCP tools (10)

### `open_binary` (~80 tokens)

Open binary

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.

Input parameters:

- `analyze` (boolean): Run auto-analysis. Only set false if already analysed.
- `path` (string, required): Absolute path to the executable

### `program_info` (~20 tokens)

Program info

What is currently open: format, architecture, function count.

### `decompile` (~67 tokens)

Decompile function

Decompile one function to C and show it in an interactive view. Identify the function by address (hex) or by name.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string): Entry point, e.g. 0x140001000
- `name` (string): Function name, e.g. main

### `list_functions` (~66 tokens)

List functions

Browse the program's functions in a sortable table. Filter by substring; sort by address, name, size or caller count.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `offset` (integer)
- `query` (string): Case-insensitive name filter
- `sort` (string)

### `call_graph` (~57 tokens)

Call graph

Draw the callers and callees around one function as a navigable graph. Depth is capped at 3 because call graphs fan out exponentially.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string)
- `depth` (integer)
- `name` (string)

### `find_strings` (~47 tokens)

Find strings

Search defined string data. Usually the fastest way into an unknown binary - find the message, then look at what references it.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string)

### `xrefs_to` (~41 tokens)

Cross-references

Everything that references an address.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string, required): Target address, e.g. 0x140001000
- `limit` (integer)

### `rename_symbol` (~92 tokens)

Rename symbol

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.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string, required): Address of the function that owns the symbol
- `new_name` (string, required)
- `old_name` (string): Current local-variable name. Omit to rename the function.

### `add_comment` (~52 tokens)

Add comment

Attach a plate comment at an address. Persists into the Ghidra project, so notes made here show up in the Ghidra GUI.

Input parameters:

- `address` (string, required)
- `text` (string, required)

### `save_program` (~37 tokens)

Save program

Write renames and comments back to the Ghidra project on disk. Nothing is lost without this, but nothing is durable with it either.
