Inspect raw ECMA-335 metadata in a .NET assembly; discover tables and heaps, read decoded rows and handles, locate exact coordinates and project bounded machine-readable results.
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
# dotnet-inspect: Inspect .NET Assembly Metadata Tables and Heaps Use this skill when API views are too high-level and you need the assembly's actual ECMA-335 tables, handles, flags, or heap values. The metadata lens inspects one assembly image and never loads the inspected assembly. Use `explain "<question>"` for unfamiliar metadata evidence, then follow the returned resource; use `-D` for the installed section and field names. ```bash dnx dotnet-inspect -y -- <command> ``` ## Discover before reading Metadata tables are unbounded and explicit-only: no verbosity or base category renders them automatically. Structural discovery lists the authored metadata family without running its producers; add `--effective` to identify the tables and heaps that have data for this image: ```bash dnx dotnet-inspect -y -- library MyLib.dll -D @Metadata dnx dotnet-inspect -y -- library MyLib.dll -D @Metadata --effective dnx dotnet-inspect -y -- library MyLib.dll -S @Metadata --count dnx dotnet-inspect -y -- library MyLib.dll -D "Metadata: TypeDef" --effective ``` `Metadata: Image` reports image-level facts. Table sections such as …

How to install
mdr add richlander/dotnet-inspect/dotnet-inspect-metadata@sha256:147a6fd115a013c2The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. 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.
