pwndbg_comm

Annotate assembly addresses with comments to document code, or view all existing comments for debugging.

Instructions

Add or view comments on assembly addresses.

pwndbg command: comm Source: pwndbg/commands/comments.py Category: Misc

Without arguments, lists all comments. With an address and comment, annotates that address.

Args: session_id: The UUID of the session. addr: Optional address to comment. comment: Optional comment text to add.

Behavior2/5

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

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It discloses basic behavior (list all comments vs. annotate address) but fails to detail side effects, persistence, permissions, or error handling. For a mutation tool (adding comments), users need clarity on whether comments are saved per session, if they require special privileges, or if they affect debugging state.

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

Conciseness3/5

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

The description is reasonably concise and structured, with a clear purpose statement followed by usage details and an Args list. However, it includes extraneous metadata (command name, source file path, category, link) that is not essential for an AI agent to select and invoke the tool. These could be removed to improve conciseness.

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

Completeness3/5

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

Given the tool's simplicity and the presence of an output schema, the description covers main behaviors. However, it leaves a gap: the behavior when only `addr` is provided (without `comment`) is not explicitly described. It may imply viewing the comment at that address, but this is ambiguous. Minor incompleteness prevents a higher score.

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

Parameters3/5

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 lists the parameters with brief descriptions: 'session_id: The UUID of the session', 'addr: Optional address', 'comment: Optional comment text.' This adds meaning beyond the schema properties, but lacks specifics like address format (e.g., hex prefix) or constraints on comment length. It is minimally helpful but not detailed.

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

Purpose5/5

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

The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'Add or view comments on assembly addresses.' It specifies the verb (add/view) and the resource (comments on assembly addresses), and distinguishes usage based on arguments: listing all comments without arguments, or annotating an address with an address and comment. This effectively differentiates it from siblings.

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: use without arguments to list comments, or with address and comment to add. However, it does not provide explicit when-not-to-use scenarios or alternatives. There is no guidance on when to prefer this tool over other sibling tools, leaving agents to infer context.

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