Tools

PostgreSQL command-line client with smart autocompletion and syntax highlighting. Compatible with psql environment variables, and -c runs a statement and exits, so agents can query databases non-interactively.

Lets agents decompile, disassemble and query cross-references in IDA Pro, and rename variables, change types and add comments, including headless idalib mode. Requires IDA Pro 8.3+ (IDA Free is not supported); the author now recommends Hex-Rays' official IDA MCP instead.

Scans container images, filesystem directories and SBOMs for known vulnerabilities across major Linux distro packages and many language ecosystems, ranks risk by EPSS and KEV, and filters results with OpenVEX. Good for vulnerability gates in CI. Maintained by Anchore.

Simon Willison's LLM CLI and Python library: call OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and local models from the terminal, with conversations logged to SQLite automatically, plus embeddings, structured extraction, tool calling and a plugin system.

Connects to the Arize Phoenix observability platform so agents can query LLM traces and sessions, manage prompts, browse datasets and read experiment evaluation results. Maintained by Arize; needs a self-hosted or cloud Phoenix instance.

Twelve research skills from Prof. Yuyu Luo's team at HKUST (Guangzhou), built on a decade of top-venue publishing and reviewing: idea evaluation, intro and body writing, polishing, surveys, pre-submission review, figures, Draw.io rebuilds and rebuttals. Non-commercial license.

ByteDance's open-source, general software engineering agent: trae-cli edits files and runs commands from natural language, supports multiple model providers and MCP, and records full execution trajectories. Transparent design suits agent research and customization. Needs your own model API key.

MySQL terminal client with smart autocompletion and syntax highlighting, also compatible with MariaDB and TiDB. Supports --execute and batch mode with CSV or table output, so agents can run SQL directly.

Scans files and directories for personal data such as names, emails and credit card numbers using Presidio Analyzer, with configurable entity types, confidence thresholds and ignore rules. Needs Python 3.10+ and a spaCy language model.

Publishes SQLite databases as browsable, queryable web pages and JSON APIs, with SQL queries, metadata and plugins, and deploys to Cloud Run and other platforms with datasette publish. Great for data exploration and data journalism. Needs Python 3.10+.

Google's official dependency vulnerability scanner: parses project lockfiles and container images, checks them against the OSV.dev database to find affected dependencies, and can suggest upgrade fixes (experimental).

OpenAI's official security CLI and TypeScript SDK: scans codebases to find, validate and fix security vulnerabilities, and can draft a SECURITY.md policy. Needs Node.js 22.13+, Python 3.10+, and a ChatGPT sign-in or API key.

Hugging Face's official skills: manage Hub models and datasets with the hf CLI, fine-tune language and vision models, run model evaluations, and build Gradio apps deployed to Spaces. Needs an HF account; cloud training on HF Jobs requires a paid plan.

Teaches agents the Hugging Face Hub CLI hf: search and download models, manage datasets, Spaces, Buckets and repos, and run Jobs and inference endpoints. The skill content is generated from your local CLI, so install hf first. Maintained by Hugging Face.

Lets agents fine-tune language and vision models with TRL or Unsloth on Hugging Face Jobs cloud GPUs, supporting SFT, DPO, GRPO and reward models, and convert results to GGUF for local use. Requires an HF Pro or higher paid plan. Maintained by Hugging Face.

Lets agents work with the Hugging Face Hub through the hf CLI: search and download models and datasets, manage repos and Spaces, and run training and evaluation jobs on cloud GPUs, with more workflow skills installable as needed. Maintained by Hugging Face.

The official MCP debugging tool: connect to any MCP server through a web UI, CLI or terminal UI to list and call its tools, resources and prompts. CLI mode outputs JSON, suited to scripts and CI smoke tests.

Publication-quality matplotlib plotting skill from a Yale PhD student: bar charts, trends, heatmaps and multi-panel figures with consistent fonts, colors and export settings, plus real plotting scripts from papers published in venues like Nature Machine Intelligence. Needs Python.

Reads the exact position of every character, line and table cell in digital PDFs: the CLI exports layout-preserving text or CSV/JSON details, and the Python API extracts tables and form fields, ideal for invoices, statements and reports. Runs locally with Python; scans need OCR first.

Universal psql-style SQL command line: one tool to connect to PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, Oracle and dozens of other SQL and NoSQL databases, with support for copying data between databases.

Open-source research agent: one command runs literature reviews, deep research, paper reviews, paper-code consistency checks and replication plans, searching arXiv, PubMed and more with sources recorded. Good for grad students writing reviews. Run feynman setup to sign in to a model provider.

Processes CSV, TSV, JSON and other structured data like awk, sed, cut, join and sort, but by field name, for cleaning, aggregation, format conversion and pretty-printing. The command is mlr; written in Go with no runtime dependencies.

Linter and formatter for 20+ SQL dialects that auto-fixes most issues and handles Jinja templating and dbt projects (dbt needs a plugin), suited to warehouse code review and CI.

NVIDIA's open-source LLM vulnerability scanner that probes for prompt injection, jailbreaks, data leakage, hallucination and harmful content, supporting OpenAI, Hugging Face, Bedrock and most REST-accessible models. Scanning cloud models needs their API keys.
