It exposes GDB commands and debugging capabilities, allowing agents to inspect and control program execution, set breakpoints, and analyze variables. It connects directly to GDB, providing a bridge for AI-assisted debugging workflows. Developers use it to automate debugging tasks, analyze crashes, and integrate debugging into larger AI-driven development pipelines.
