check_ilspy_installation

Diagnostics

Check whether ilspycmd and the .NET SDK are installed and accessible. This tool probes the system PATH for both dotnet and ilspycmd, reports their versions and locations, and provides troubleshooting instructions if anything is missing.

Parameters

This tool takes no parameters.

Example

MCP JSON

{
  "tool": "check_ilspy_installation",
  "arguments": {}
}

Python

result = await client.call_tool("check_ilspy_installation", {})

Response

A status report covering:

• dotnet CLI — whether it is available and its version
• ilspycmd — whether it is installed, its version, and its filesystem path
• Next steps — installation instructions if either tool is missing

Tip

Run this first if any decompilation tool returns an error about missing dependencies. The metadata tools (search_methods, search_fields, etc.) work without ilspycmd, so this check only matters for decompilation, diagrams, and project generation.
