Analyze MSBuild binary logs to diagnose build failures. USE FOR: build errors that are unclear from console output, diagnosing cascading failures across multi-project builds, tracing MSBuild target execution order, and generally any MSBuild build issues. Requires an existing .binlog file. DO NOT USE FOR: generating binlogs (use binlog-generation), binlog MCP startup or connection failures (use troubleshoot-binlog-mcp), non-MSBuild build systems.

When to use

• build errors unclear from console output
• diagnosing cascading failures across multi-project builds
• tracing MSBuild target execution order
• MSBuild build issues
• querying build errors and warnings
• inspecting MSBuild properties and items
• retrieving embedded file contents from binlog

When not to use

• generating binlogs
• binlog MCP startup or connection failures
• non-MSBuild build systems
