Summary

AI summary

Added Wintool Windows GUI automation with 14 operations.

Full changelog

Quick Start

  1. Download the binary for your OS below
  2. Run agent-tool install (or agent-tool install claude)
  3. Restart your IDE
  4. 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 v0.7.2

Wintool — Windows GUI Automation (new tool)

  • 14 operations: list, tree, find, inspect, screenshot, gettext, settext, click, type, send, show, move, close, focus
  • Find and enumerate windows and child controls by title, class, or PID
  • Capture window screenshots as PNG (saved to temp file, viewable by multimodal agents via Read)
  • Read/set text on controls (WM_GETTEXT/WM_SETTEXT)
  • Click, type text (with Unicode surrogate pair support), send raw Win32 messages
  • Show/hide/minimize/maximize, move/resize, close, focus windows
  • Dangerous messages blocked (WM_QUIT, WM_COPYDATA, WM_ENDSESSION)
  • Pure syscall, no CGO, Windows only
  • Note: apps with DRM/overlay protection may return black screenshots (Windows-level restriction)

Debug — resolve_address operation

  • Map any runtime address to its containing module + offset
  • Example: 0x7FFE5488ntdll.dll+0x5488 (base: 0x7FFE0000, size: 0x1F0000)
  • Automatically fetches all modules via DAP and matches address ranges
  • Supports common AddressRange formats: base-end, base[size]

Edit — Improved indentation matching

  • Added brute-force indent size fallback (tries 2, 3, 4, 8) when auto-detection fails
  • Fixes matching failures on deeply nested files (6-7 tab levels) where LLM uses a different indent size
  • Also handles reverse case (file uses spaces, LLM sends tabs)

Tool count: 46 → 47
