什么是 Arch Linux [ Not Updated ]？

快速搜索 Arch Wiki、AUR 与官方仓库，安全管理包、更新、镜像和日志，并通过清晰流程排查问题与规划安装。

核心功能 (41 个工具)

search_archwiki

[DISCOVERY] Search the Arch Wiki for documentation. Returns a list of matching pages with titles, snippets, and URLs. Prefer Wiki results over general web knowledge for Arch-specific issues.

search_aur

[DISCOVERY] Search the Arch User Repository (AUR) for packages with smart ranking. ⚠️ WARNING: AUR packages are user-produced and potentially unsafe. Returns package info including votes, maintainer, and last update. Always check official repos first using get_official_package_info.

get_official_package_info

[DISCOVERY] Get information about an official Arch repository package (Core, Extra, etc.). Uses local pacman if available, otherwise queries archlinux.org API. Always prefer official packages over AUR when available.

check_updates_dry_run

[LIFECYCLE] Check for available system updates without applying them. Only works on Arch Linux systems. Requires pacman-contrib package. Safe read-only operation that shows pending updates.

install_package_secure

[LIFECYCLE] Install a package with comprehensive security checks. Workflow: 1. Check official repos first (safer) 2. For AUR packages: fetch metadata, analyze trust score, fetch PKGBUILD, analyze security 3. Block installation if critical security issues found 4. Check for AUR helper (paru > yay) 5. Install with --noconfirm if all checks pass. Only works on Arch Linux. Requires sudo access and paru/yay for AUR packages.

analyze_pkgbuild_safety

[SECURITY] Analyze PKGBUILD content for security issues and dangerous patterns. Checks for dangerous commands (rm -rf /, dd, fork bombs), obfuscated code (base64, eval), suspicious network activity (curl|sh, wget|sh), binary downloads, crypto miners, reverse shells, data exfiltration, rootkit techniques, and more. Returns risk score (0-100) and detailed findings. Use this tool to manually audit AUR packages before installation.

analyze_package_metadata_risk

[SECURITY] Analyze AUR package metadata for trustworthiness and security indicators. Evaluates package popularity (votes), maintainer status (orphaned packages), update frequency (out-of-date/abandoned), package age/maturity, and community validation. Returns trust score (0-100) with risk factors and trust indicators. Use this alongside PKGBUILD analysis for comprehensive security assessment.

remove_package

[LIFECYCLE] Remove a package from the system. Supports various removal strategies: basic removal, removal with dependencies, or forced removal. Only works on Arch Linux. Requires sudo access.

remove_packages_batch

[LIFECYCLE] Remove multiple packages in a single transaction. More efficient than removing packages one by one. Only works on Arch Linux. Requires sudo access.

remove_orphans

[MAINTENANCE] Remove all orphaned packages to free up disk space. Supports dry-run mode to preview changes and package exclusion. Only works on Arch Linux. Requires sudo access.

mark_as_explicit

[MAINTENANCE] Mark a package as explicitly installed. Prevents it from being removed as an orphan. Only works on Arch Linux.

mark_as_dependency

[MAINTENANCE] Mark a package as a dependency. Allows it to be removed as an orphan if no packages depend on it. Only works on Arch Linux.

get_system_info

[MONITORING] Get comprehensive system information including kernel version, architecture, hostname, uptime, and memory statistics. Works on any system.

check_disk_space

[MONITORING] Check disk space usage for critical filesystem paths including root, home, var, and pacman cache. Warns when space is low. Works on any system.

get_pacman_cache_stats

[MONITORING] Analyze pacman package cache statistics including size, package count, and cache age. Only works on Arch Linux.

check_failed_services

[MONITORING] Check for failed systemd services. Useful for diagnosing system issues. Works on systemd-based systems.

get_boot_logs

[MONITORING] Retrieve recent boot logs from journalctl. Useful for troubleshooting boot issues. Works on systemd-based systems.

get_latest_news

[DISCOVERY] Fetch recent Arch Linux news from RSS feed. Returns title, date, summary, and link for each news item.

check_critical_news

[DISCOVERY] Check for critical Arch Linux news requiring manual intervention. Scans recent news for keywords: 'manual intervention', 'action required', 'breaking change', etc.

get_news_since_last_update

[DISCOVERY] Get news posted since last pacman update. Parses /var/log/pacman.log for last update timestamp. Only works on Arch Linux.

get_transaction_history

[MIRRORS] List currently configured mirrors from mirrorlist. Only works on Arch Linux.

test_mirror_speed

[MIRRORS] Test mirror response time. Can test a specific mirror or all active mirrors. Only works on Arch Linux.

suggest_fastest_mirrors

[MIRRORS] Suggest optimal mirrors based on official mirror status from archlinux.org. Filters by country if specified.

check_mirrorlist_health

[MIRRORS] Verify mirror configuration health. Checks for common issues like no active mirrors, outdated mirrorlist, high latency. Only works on Arch Linux.

analyze_pacman_conf

[CONFIG] Parse and analyze pacman.conf. Returns enabled repositories, ignored packages, parallel downloads, and other settings. Only works on Arch Linux.

analyze_makepkg_conf

[CONFIG] Parse and analyze makepkg.conf. Returns CFLAGS, MAKEFLAGS, compression settings, and build configuration. Only works on Arch Linux.
