BH Agent Debugger 1.0.0

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.
