When your agent uses it

IDA Pro Python scripting for reverse engineering. Use when writing IDAPython scripts, analyzing binaries, working with IDA's API for disassembly, decompilation (Hex-Rays), type systems, cross-references, functions, segments, or any IDA database manipulation. Covers ida_* modules (50+), idautils iterators, and common patterns.

# IDAPython

Use modern `ida_*` modules. Avoid legacy `idc` module.

## Module Router

| Task | Module | Key Items |
|------|--------|-----------|
| Bytes/memory | `ida_bytes` | `get_bytes`, `patch_bytes`, `get_flags`, `create_*` |
| Functions | `ida_funcs` | `func_t`, `get_func`, `add_func`, `get_func_name` |
| Names | `ida_name` | `set_name`, `get_name`, `demangle_name` |
| Types | `ida_typeinf` | `tinfo_t`, `apply_tinfo`, `parse_decl` |
| Decompiler | `ida_hexrays` | `decompile`, `cfunc_t`, `lvar_t`, ctree visitor |
| Segments | `ida_segment` | `segment_t`, `getseg`, `add_segm` |
