knewstimek/agent-tool

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 v0.7.9

Analyze tool: 4 new operations + 3 improvements (17 -> 21 operations)

New operations:

• follow_ptr -- trace pointer chains in PE files with symbol/section annotation. Detects circular pointer references
• rtti_dump -- parse MSVC RTTI from a vtable VA. Supports x86/x64, demangled class names (.?AVInner@Outer@@ -> Outer::Inner), base class hierarchy, x64 pSelf cross-validation
• struct_layout -- annotate memory layout at a VA (pointer-sized slots with symbol/code/data/null classification)
• vtable_scan -- auto-discover all vtables with RTTI in PE .rdata section. Validates COL signature + pSelf + TypeDescriptor, demangled class names

Improvements to existing operations:

• disassemble -- stop_at_ret option: stop disassembly at function return (RET/RETF/BND RET/REP RET). Uses .pdata or heuristic detection
• pattern_search -- shows PE section name for each match (e.g. [.rdata] 0x009E5980: ...)
• xref -- summary statistics at top of output (e.g. 12 references: 5 CALL, 3 LEA, 2 MOV)

Internal improvements

• Section data caching (secCache) for RTTI/vtable operations -- eliminates redundant file I/O
• MSVC name demangling for class/struct/enum type descriptors
• Circular pointer detection in follow_ptr (visited set)
• Audit fixes: uint32 overflow check in vtable_scan, Go 1.21+ min/max builtin compatibility
