@AndrewLongner AndrewLongner released this 11 Nov 03:34

Bug-fix release of BH Agent Debugger.

Changes since 1.0.0

  • continue returns once Visual Studio reports run mode, so a break sent right after it works.
  • A continue that stops again at once, for example at a breakpoint hit right away, returns ok: executed continue | break hit | stable break instead of timing out.
  • The Visual Studio Marketplace listing gets a complete short description.

Install or upgrade

  1. Close every Visual Studio instance.
  2. Download bh_agent_debugger.msi below and run it. It installs per user, does not need administrator rights and upgrades an installed 1.0.x or 0.13.x in place.
  3. Start Visual Studio and run bh_agent_debugger_cli doctor; it reports 1.0.2.

The MSI is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn before it runs; check the SHA-256 below first.

Checksum

SHA-256 (bh_agent_debugger.msi) = 58E217E23349B46B44E20143FD97802302E6EF40E67F2D96AC45B9C5670526E4

BH Agent Debugger 1.0.0

@AndrewLongner AndrewLongner released this 10 Nov 18:37

First public release of BH Agent Debugger.

BH Agent Debugger lets AI coding agents and scripts drive the Visual Studio 2022 and 2026 debugger for native C and C++ programs: start, attach and stop debugging, breakpoints and instruction traps, stepping, threads, registers, stacks, memory, locals, expression evaluation, native crash dumps and CPU profiling. Agents connect through the command-line client, the MCP server (bh_agent_debugger_cli mcp) or the OpenCode tool.

Install

  1. Close every Visual Studio instance.
  2. Download bh_agent_debugger.msi below and run it. It installs per user and does not need administrator rights.
  3. Pick the features: the Visual Studio extension, the CLI on PATH, and the skill and MCP server for OpenCode, Claude Code and Codex (Windows and WSL). Features for an agent host that is not installed are skipped.
  4. Start Visual Studio and run bh_agent_debugger_cli doctor.

The MSI is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn before it runs; check the SHA-256 below first. An installed 0.13.x upgrades in place.

Requirements

  • Windows 10 or 11, x64.
  • Visual Studio 2022 (17.x) or 2026 (18.x) with the C++ desktop development workload.
  • Native x64 or x86 debuggees.

Security

A connected agent can run code with your account's rights: debugging, launching programs and evaluating expressions all do. All pipes are local and restricted to your user account. Connect only agents you trust and keep their approval prompts on. See SECURITY.md; report vulnerabilities privately through the Security tab.
