Display or modify pwndbg debugger settings. Use an optional filter pattern to view specific configuration options.

Instructions

pwndbg command: config Source: pwndbg/commands/config.py Category: Pwndbg

Without arguments, shows all pwndbg configuration options. With a filter, shows only matching options.

Args: session_id: The UUID of the session. filter_pattern: Optional pattern to filter config options.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations are provided, so the description must fully disclose behavior. It mentions the source file and category but does not describe side effects, required permissions, or output format. The claim of setting configuration is not backed by parameters, reducing transparency.

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 front-loaded with the main purpose but includes verbose metadata (source, category, URL) that could be omitted. It is moderately concise but not tightly written.

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 there is an output schema, the description adequately covers basic functionality. However, it lacks details on the 'set' aspect and does not clarify if there are any constraints or prerequisites. It is minimally complete for a simple display tool.

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

Parameters2/5

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

Schema coverage is 0%, so the description should compensate. It only adds minimal context for filter_pattern ('Optional pattern to filter config options') and repeats the parameter names for session_id. This does not provide meaningful details beyond what the schema already shows.

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 'Show or set pwndbg configuration options' and explains the behavior with and without arguments. However, the 'set' functionality is not supported by the input schema (no parameter to change a config value), causing slight confusion. It effectively distinguishes from sibling tools.

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 explains when to use the tool: without arguments to show all options, with a filter to show matching. However, it does not provide explicit guidance on when not to use it or alternatives, leaving some ambiguity.

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