Frida Game Hacking MCP

by 0xhackerfren

spawn

Launch a process in suspended mode to inject hooks before execution begins, enabling early-stage game manipulation and reverse engineering.

Instructions

Spawn a process suspended for early hooking.

Args:
    path: Path to executable
    args: Optional command line arguments

Returns:
    Spawn information. Call resume() to start execution.

Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function for the 'spawn' MCP tool. It spawns a new process using Frida's device.spawn(), attaches a session to it while suspended, sets session state, and returns spawn information. This implements process spawning with early hooking support.
    @mcp.tool()
    def spawn(path: str, args: List[str] = None) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """
        Spawn a process suspended for early hooking.
        
        Args:

        if _session.is_attached():

        try:
            device = get_device()
            spawn_args = [path] + (args or [])
            
            _session.pid = device.spawn(spawn_args)
            _session.session = device.attach(_session.pid)
            _session.process_name = path.split("\\")[-1].split("/")[-1]

Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It effectively describes the tool's behavior: spawning a process in a suspended state for hooking purposes, and notes that 'Call resume() to start execution,' clarifying the interaction with another tool. It doesn't cover aspects like error conditions, permissions needed, or system impacts, but provides sufficient core behavioral context for a mutation tool.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is highly concise and well-structured: a clear purpose statement, brief parameter explanations, and a note on returns and next steps. Every sentence adds value without redundancy, and it's front-loaded with the core functionality.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool's complexity (spawning processes with hooking intent), no annotations, and an output schema (implied by 'Returns' note), the description is reasonably complete. It covers purpose, parameters, and behavioral flow (calling resume()), but lacks details on error handling, security implications, or output structure, which could be important for safe usage.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate. It adds meaningful semantics: 'path' is described as 'Path to executable,' and 'args' as 'Optional command line arguments,' which clarifies their roles beyond the schema's basic types. However, it doesn't detail format specifics (e.g., path syntax or argument array structure), leaving some gaps.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Spawn a process suspended for early hooking.' It specifies the verb ('spawn'), resource ('process'), and key behavioral trait ('suspended for early hooking'), which distinguishes it from generic process creation tools. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'attach' or 'list_processes', keeping it from a perfect score.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description implies usage context through 'suspended for early hooking,' suggesting this tool is for debugging or instrumentation scenarios where process execution needs to be paused initially. However, it lacks explicit guidance on when to use this versus alternatives like 'attach' (for existing processes) or 'resume' (to start execution), and doesn't mention prerequisites or exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
