knewstimek/agent-tool

Overview

A Go-based MCP tool server for AI coding agents that provides encoding-aware file operations, binary analysis, a DAP debugger, SSH/SFTP connectivity, and process memory inspection. It exposes these capabilities as tools that agents can invoke directly.

Use cases

• Debugging remote processes via DAP protocol integration
• Analyzing binary files and inspecting memory of running processes
• Managing files on remote hosts over SSH/SFTP from an agent

Pros

• Provides a diverse set of low-level system tools for agents
• Written in Go, offering single-binary deployment and cross-platform support
• Integrates encoding awareness for robust file handling

Cons

• Very small user base (18 stars) signals limited community and testing
• Documentation and usage examples may be sparse
• Relies on MCP protocol, limiting compatibility to agents that support it
