# RetDec

> Inspect optional RetDec decompilation status and retrieve decompiled code.

RetDec integration is lazy-initialized and driven by the `BINARY_URL` environment variable.

## Returned shape

Both tools on this page return JSON-formatted strings.

## Available tools

```json theme={null}
{"tool":"get_retdec_status","arguments":{}}
{"tool":"get_decompiled_code","arguments":{}}
```

* `get_retdec_status` reports whether decompilation was skipped, failed, or succeeded
* `get_decompiled_code` returns C output when available, otherwise an unavailable response with details

## Runtime behavior

* if `BINARY_URL` is missing, RetDec initialization is skipped
* decompilation runs lazily on first access, not at import time
* success responses include whether decompiled code is available

<Warning>
  RetDec depends on an external service. A missing `BINARY_URL`, HTTP failure, or timeout can all produce a non-success status.
