What so_search_symbol does on SO Analyzer MCP
AI agents call so_search_symbol to retrieve information from SO Analyzer MCP without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why so_search_symbol is rated Low
This tool searches and retrieves symbol information (exported and imported functions) from native Android libraries. It performs static analysis without modifying binaries, executing code, or causing side effects. While it supports reverse-engineering workflows, the tool itself is read-only analysis that queries symbol tables in compiled libraries.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'so_search_symbol' with description '搜索符号(导出+导入函数)' (Search symbols: exported + imported functions). The verb 'search' and 'symbol' indicate passive analysis/retrieval of function metadata from SO binaries.
