pwndbg_load

Load an executable into the debugger with optional arguments to start analysis.

Instructions

Load a program into the debugger.

Sets the target executable and optional arguments. The program path is resolved relative to the session's working directory if not absolute.

Args: session_id: The UUID of the session. program: Path to the executable. arguments: Optional list of program arguments.

Behavior2/5

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

No annotations provided, so the description must disclose behavioral traits. It mentions path resolution and optional arguments, but does not indicate side effects (e.g., overwriting previous state, clearing breakpoints, or required permissions). The description is insufficient 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.

Conciseness4/5

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

The description is concise with a single sentence and structured Args list. Every sentence provides needed information without redundancy, though the Arg descriptions are minimal.

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

Completeness2/5

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

Given the complexity (load operation), lack of annotations, and many siblings, the description does not cover return values, error conditions, or how it relates to other session/watching tools. It is missing crucial context for correct usage.

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 adds value by explaining session_id as UUID, program as path, arguments as optional list, and path resolution. However, it lacks constraints (e.g., file existence, format) that would fully compensate for the missing schema descriptions.

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 verb 'Load' and the resource 'a program into the debugger,' with details on setting target executable and arguments. However, it does not differentiate from sibling tools like pwndbg_attach or pwndbg_run, which have overlapping purposes.

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

Usage Guidelines2/5

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

No guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as pwndbg_attach (attach to running process) or pwndbg_run (run the program). The description only outlines what the tool does, not usage context.

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