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 v0.9.0

memtool: read_chain — resolve pointer chains in one call

New operation that follows Cheat-Engine-style pointer chains and reads the final
value, so an agent tracking several multi-level pointers no longer needs one
call per dereference level.

• Batch: pass a chains JSON array and resolve many chains at once

  memtool(operation="read_chain", pid=1234, chains='[
    {"base":"0x7FF6..","offsets":["0x10","0x8","0x0"],"type":"int32","label":"hp"},
    {"base":"0x7FF6..","offsets":["0x20"],"type":"float32","label":"x"}]')
  

• Single chain (flat form): address + offsets + value_type
• Cheat-Engine semantics: dereference base, dereference each middle offset, add
  the last offset (not dereferenced), then read the value at the final address
• Signed offsets, ptr_size 4/8 for 32/64-bit targets, empty offsets = a plain
  read at base (superset of read)
• Broken chains report the exact failing step and the pointer trace instead of a
  bare "read failed", so you can see where the chain died

bash: timeout accepted as an alias for timeout_sec

Agents commonly reach for the shorter timeout name and used to hit a schema
rejection. timeout is now accepted when timeout_sec is unset, and the tool
description points at timeout_sec (max 600) / procexec for longer-running
processes.
