Validates development tool installations across Python, Node.js, Java, Go, Rust, C/C++, Git, and system utilities. Use when verifying environments or troubleshooting dependencies.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Check Tools - Development Environment Validator Reports which development tools are installed and at what version, grouped by ecosystem. Default behavior reports every tool without failing validation — suited to diverse PaaS/container environments where only a subset of ecosystems is expected to be present. ## When to use - Verifying a container or environment has the tools a task needs - Troubleshooting a build failure that might be a missing dependency - Documenting system requirements - Onboarding: confirming a dev environment is ready ## Running it ```bash # Fast check with exit code (0 = all required core tools present) bash assets/check-tools.sh # Development tools only bash assets/environment-diagnostic.sh tools # System info: hardware, mounts, processes bash assets/environment-diagnostic.sh system # Complete diagnostic (tools + system + package inventories), written to a file bash assets/environment-diagnostic.sh full /path/to/report.txt ``` `check-tools.sh` exits non-zero only when a **required** core tool (python3, pip, node, npm, java, gcc, git, curl, awk, grep, gzip, tar, make, sed) is …

This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
