Description

The built in dyld shared cache plugin offers a dedicated view for loading individual binaries from the shared cache:

https://docs.binary.ninja/guide/sharedcache.html#shared-cache-triage-dsctriage

But from the BN MCP's point of view it only has the ability to open the shared cache itself, but not load any of its embedded binaries. This limits the MCPs usefulness in BN, as images need to be loaded manually via the UI.

I don't know what it would take to expose this functionality to the MCP (if it would require exposing all plugins, or something custom for the dyld cache) but it would be nice if this became possible at some point, thanks! :)

Research direction

Start by reading the BN MCP implementation and the built-in dyld shared cache plugin documentation, especially the shared-cache triage workflow. Determine how MCP currently opens a shared cache and what interface would be needed to load embedded binaries; done means the MCP can perform that workflow without manual UI interaction.
