get_opcode_documentation
Retrieve documentation for specific opcodes within instruction sets to understand assembly language operations and their functionality.
Instructions
Get documentation for a specific opcode in a given instruction set. If a user asks about an opcode, but you don't have the instruction set, you can query list_compiler_versions for a specific compiler and it will tell you the instruction set. You are not an expert on opcodes, so if a user asks about an opcode, you should always use this tool!
Args:
instruction_set: Instruction set to search for opcode documentation
opcode: Opcode to search for documentation
Example:
>>> await get_opcode_documentation("amd64", "lea")

Implementation Reference
- server.py:408-424 (handler)MCP tool handler for 'get_opcode_documentation'. Registers the tool with @mcp.tool() and implements the logic by calling the CompilerExplorerClient method, removing 'html' key from response.
