I'm trying to develop scripts for an embedded device which has a built-
in TCL interpreter, accepting commands over a TCP network channel.

Unfortunately I don't have access to the filesystem or underlying OS
so my debugging possibilites are quite limited.

Does anyone know a TCL debugger for Windows or Linux with breakpoint
and inspection capabilites which might work in this situation?

I've used a minimal http server for displaying state in an application
and
a socket server that evaluates input comparable to an interactive
shell for introspection and inserting changes with good success.

RamDebugger looks interesting ... Thanks for that!
Did I understand it right that I need to open a console (tkcon) and
connect to a socket in order to get a script executed remotely?

ActiveState's Tcl Dev Kit Debugger should work for you:
http://www.activestate.com/tcl-dev-kit

It has a debugger with remote debugging capabilities, as well as half
a dozen other useful tools for Tcl programmers.

Sorry, can't help you with that. Hopefully someone else can help.

The developer of RamDebugger [can't remember his name :( ] sometimes pops up
here, so maybe he'll respond...
