pwno-mcp is designed around a container-visible workspace rooted at /workspace.

​
The core rule

Pass file paths that resolve inside /workspace.
  • /workspace/chal
  • /workspace/build/vuln
  • chal
  • build/vuln

​
Relative path behavior

When a tool accepts a path or cwd, relative values are resolved under /workspace. 
{"tool":"set_file","arguments":{"binary_path":"chal","session_id":"chal-a"}}
{"tool":"run_command","arguments":{"command":"make","cwd":"build"}}
These resolve to /workspace/chal and /workspace/build inside the server runtime.

​
Host path mapping

If your Docker mount is: 
$PWD/workspace:/workspace
then a host file like ./workspace/chal becomes /workspace/chal in tool calls.
Tools cannot see arbitrary host filesystem paths. If a file is not inside the mounted workspace, it is not available to the server.

​
Runtime artifacts vs workspace files

Not everything lives in /workspace.
  • user-visible targets, source files, helper scripts, and cloned repos live in /workspace
  • server-managed runtime artifacts live under PWNO_RUNTIME_ROOT
  • session runtime directories are created under that runtime root, not under /workspace
By default, PWNO_RUNTIME_ROOT falls back to a temp directory similar to /tmp/pwno.

​
Common path-sensitive tools

  • set_file, pwncli, and execute_python_script resolve binary or script paths under /workspace
  • run_command, spawn_process, and execute_python_code resolve cwd under /workspace
  • fetch_repo defaults to cloning into /workspace/<repo-name> when target_dir is omitted
If a tool says a path was not found, first confirm the host file is inside ./workspace, then retry with the in-container form like /workspace/<name>.
