pwndbg_finish

Execute the current function until return, with configurable timeout. Skip function execution during debugging to analyze post-return state.

Instructions

Execute until the current function returns.

Blocks until the function returns or times out. Streams intermediate debugger output as MCP progress/log notifications.

Args: session_id: The UUID of the session. timeout: Maximum seconds to wait (default 30).

Behavior4/5

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

With no annotations, the description carries full burden. It states the tool blocks, has a timeout, and streams intermediate output. This is fairly transparent for a debugger stepping tool, but could mention side effects or prerequisites.

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 succinct, front-loaded with the main action, and each sentence adds value. No redundant information.

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 presence of an output schema, the description does not need to explain return values. It covers the behavior and parameters sufficiently for the tool's purpose.

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 add meaning. It provides clear parameter descriptions: session_id as UUID, timeout as maximum seconds with default 30. This adequately informs the agent.

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 'Execute until the current function returns', which is a specific verb and resource, distinguishing it from sibling stepping tools like pwndbg_next or pwndbg_step.

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

Usage Guidelines4/5

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

The description mentions that the tool blocks until the function returns or times out, implying usage when you want to run to the end of a function. However, it does not explicitly compare with alternatives or state when not to use it.

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