description	Use when exploring YARV bytecode, iseq structure, ASTs, or round-tripping iseq binaries. Routes to the ruby-bytecode MCP disasm, parse_ast, iseq_to_binary, and load_iseq_binary tools.

Disassembling Ruby

When the task involves looking at YARV bytecode, the AST, or the iseq binary format, call the ruby-bytecode MCP tools rather than running RubyVM::InstructionSequence.compile(...).disasm manually.

Tool routing

• Disassembly of a snippet (and its children) → mcp__ruby-bytecode__disasm
• AST (Prism default, RubyVM::AST on request) → mcp__ruby-bytecode__parse_ast
• Compile to binary iseq → mcp__ruby-bytecode__iseq_to_binary
• Load/execute a binary iseq → mcp__ruby-bytecode__load_iseq_binary

The iseq_to_binary / load_iseq_binary pair round-trips cleanly within a single Ruby version; cross-version binaries are not portable.
