get_metadata_summary

Metadata

Get a comprehensive metadata summary of an assembly. This tool performs a full dnfile analysis of the PE headers and .NET metadata tables — no ilspycmd required. It returns the assembly identity, statistics across all metadata tables, and a complete list of referenced assemblies.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`assembly_path`	`string`	Yes	—	Full path to the .NET assembly (.dll or .exe)

Example

MCP JSON
Python

{
  "tool": "get_metadata_summary",
  "arguments": {
    "assembly_path": "/path/to/MyApp.dll"
  }
}

result = await client.call_tool("get_metadata_summary", {
    "assembly_path": "/path/to/MyApp.dll",
})

Response

The response includes three sections:

Identity — assembly name, version, culture, public key token, and target framework
Statistics — counts for types, methods, fields, properties, events, and resources in a table
Referenced Assemblies — sorted list of all assemblies this binary depends on

get_assembly_info — ilspycmd-based metadata (signing, debug info)
list_types — enumerate individual types
list_resources — list embedded resources
