I believe this tool is open source, but it requires .NET Core, which is not in Debian, so it's not included. I don't know if it will work with Mono instead, which is packaged in Debian.

I _think_ Debian prefers Mono over .NET Core because it is substantially more portable in terms of architecture support.
