- Switch from Java to Python scripts (avoids OSGi bundle issues)
- Update pyproject.toml with proper src layout and ruff config
- Add binaries/ and ghidra-src/ to gitignore
- Clean up Module.manifest
Add start_line, end_line, and max_lines parameters to decompile
functions, allowing AI models to retrieve only specific portions
of decompiled code for better context management.
Parameters:
- start_line: Start at this line number (1-indexed)
- end_line: End at this line number (inclusive)
- max_lines: Maximum lines to return (overrides end_line)
Response includes filter metadata with total_lines when filtering
is applied, helping models understand what portion they're viewing.
Examples:
- Get first 20 lines: max_lines=20
- Get lines 10-30: start_line=10, end_line=30
- Get 15 lines from line 25: start_line=25, max_lines=15
When applying a larger struct to an address, clear enough space
for the new data type rather than just the old data's length.
This prevents 'Conflicting data exists' errors when the new
type is larger than the existing data.
Fixes issue where ConfigParametersStruct couldn't be applied
due to conflicting smaller data items in the address range.
Comprehensive documentation overhaul reflecting all enhancements since fork:
- Documented new namespaced tool organization (instances_*, functions_*, data_*, structs_*, etc.)
- Added complete struct management API documentation
- Updated example usage with realistic reverse engineering workflows
- Added uvx installation method (recommended: local install for version sync)
- Updated all repository URLs to starsong-consulting
- Bumped plugin and bridge versions to v2.1.0, API version to 2010
Add endpoints and MCP tools to create, read, update, and delete struct
data types in Ghidra's data type manager. Enables programmatic definition
of complex data structures for reverse engineering workflows.
Includes pagination, category filtering, and field-level operations
(add, update by name or offset).
- Update all Ghidra JAR dependencies to 11.4.2
- Improve TransactionHelper to properly handle endTransaction return value
- Add GHIDRA_HOME environment variable support for flexible builds
- Update version references in extension.properties and MANIFEST.MF
The transaction fix now checks the return value from endTransaction() and
properly reports transaction failures, providing better error handling for
Ghidra 11.3.2+ compatibility.

This commit fixes an issue where variable operations with paths like
/functions/by-name/FunctionName/variables/varName were not being properly
processed. The handleFunctionResource method now checks for paths that
start with 'variables/' and extracts the variable name for processing.
Added implementation to handle renaming of decompiler-generated variables.
The new endpoint provides:
- GET /strings endpoint with pagination and filtering
- Python bridge support via list_strings() function
- Searching of string data types across memory blocks
- Filtering options for string content
- Update Java plugin version to v2.0.0-beta.1
- Add version identifier to bridge script
- Add API version check in bridge to verify plugin compatibility
- Bridge script will now check for API version 2 compatibility
- Add handleCreateData method to Java plugin to support creating new data
- Add data type mapping to support common types like byte, word, dword, string
- Implement delete_data functionality with graceful handling of missing data
- Add proper error handling when conflicts are detected
- Add comprehensive tests for both create_data and delete_data functionality
- Add comprehensive data manipulation capabilities
- Implement separate pathways for rename-only, type-only, and combined operations
- Fix HTTP request body consumption issue in DataEndpoints
- Standardize on 'type' parameter name instead of 'dataType'
- Add thorough test coverage with dedicated test_data_update.py script
- Update API documentation to version 2 with full endpoint descriptions
- Update CHANGELOG with detailed information about data manipulation features
- Add support for setting data types and renaming data items
- Fix Java API implementation for data operation endpoints
- Create rename_data and set_data_type tools for clearer separation of concerns
- Add comprehensive test scripts for data operations
- Successfully test changing data types and naming

Add toggleCCode, toggleSyntaxTree and setSimplificationStyle controls to
the Java plugin. These allow controlling decompiler output format between
C code (default) and raw decompiler output with syntax trees.
Example usage:
decompile_function_by_address(port=8192, address='0x1000', cCode=True)
decompile_function_by_address(port=8192, address='0x1000', syntaxTree=True)
Refactored Java plugin to use helper methods for consistent JSON success/error responses. Fixed NullPointerException in listVariables. Updated Python tests (HTTP and MCP) to use helper assertions validating the standard response structure.
Standardizes communication between the Python bridge and Java plugin,
resolves test logic errors, and improves error handling to ensure
MCP bridge tests pass reliably.
Key changes:
- Standardized HTTP methods: Use GET for read operations and POST for all modification operations across the bridge and plugin.
- Fixed JSON parsing in Java plugin using Gson and added missing imports.
- Corrected error handling in Java plugin's `get_function` to return `success: false` when a function is not found.
- Updated Python bridge's `safe_get` to correctly propagate nested failure responses from the plugin.
- Fixed test client logic (`test_mcp_client.py`) to correctly extract function name/address from `list_functions` results.
- Added logging to `test_mcp_client.py` for easier debugging of mutating operations.
