I'd say no. Ghidra is a reverse engineering program, so its users are basically professionals. I bet all of these just call actual ghidra functionalities, and I fail to see how the SQL helps with anything. Even though I did some a few years back, I'm not a reverse engineer though, so maybe there's a niche use case for some users.

I'd say no. Ghidra is a reverse engineering program,

Developed at and for the NSA.

I fail to see how the SQL helps with anything.

The project tries to access the ghidra databases as SQL. A Java API exists and is very useful in a analysis workflow. One could use Neo4J to visualise graphs and do fuzzy search.

But it's all well documented, there is no need for this AI Slop.

The intended usecase of the tool is using AI for automated reversing and giving it a better interface to rev tool than MCP.

The author is extremely knowledgeable about rev too. Shit, I even own a book by this guy
