Summary
AI summaryAdded a new Process Memory Tool (memtool) with 12 operations.
Full changelog
Quick Start
- Download the binary for your OS below
- Run
agent-tool install(oragent-tool install claude) - Restart your IDE
- Done — all tools work immediately, no permission popups
Or just ask your AI agent:
"Download agent-tool from https://github.com/knewstimek/agent-tool/releases/latest and run
agent-tool install"
Any capable AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) can handle the full download → install → restart flow automatically.
Tip: Add this to your CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md so your agent prefers agent-tool over built-in tools:
Strict mode:
ALWAYS use agent-tool MCP tools (mcp__agent-tool__*) instead of built-in file tools. agent-tool preserves file encoding and respects .editorconfig indentation settings.
Soft mode:
Prefer agent-tool MCP tools (mcp__agent-tool__*) over built-in file tools when available.
What's New in v0.7.1
New: Process Memory Tool (memtool) — 46th tool
CheatEngine-style process memory scanner for reverse engineering and game hacking.
- 12 operations: regions, search, filter, undo, read, write, disasm, struct_search, pointer_scan, diff, info, close
- Unknown initial value scan: snapshot-based, filter by changed/unchanged/increased/decreased
- Hybrid match storage: in-memory up to 10M matches, auto disk-backed up to 100M
- Parallel search (multi-core) + batched filter reads (64KB groups)
- VirtualProtectEx fallback: write automatically handles read-only/execute-only pages
- Live disassembly: disassemble process memory in-place (x86/x64/ARM/ARM64)
- Platforms: Windows (ReadProcessMemory/WriteProcessMemory), Linux (/proc/pid/mem)
Expanded: Analyze Tool
- Split monolithic handler into per-operation files
- New operations:
elf_info,macho_info,entropy,bin_diff,resource_info,imphash,rich_header,overlay_detect,dwarf_info,pattern_search - Exported
DisasmBytes()for cross-package use
Security
- 2 audit rounds completed, all issues fixed
- Atomic counters for parallel scan (data race fix)
- Safe disk promotion (state change after write success only)
- Undo rollback on filter errors
- Disk batch read size caps
Security Fixes
- Fixed data race in atomic counters for parallel scans and added safe disk promotion with rollback on filter errors.
