Parameters
| 参数 | 类型 | 必填 | 说明 |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | string | 是 | 文件路径 |
| old_string | string | 是 | 要替换的原文本（须精确匹配） |

| replace_all | boolean | 否 | 是否替换所有匹配项（默认 false） |
Examples
修改函数名:
{
"path": "src/main.py",
"old_string": "def old_name():",
"new_string": "def new_name():"
}
批量替换变量名:
{
"path": "src/config.py",
"old_string": "old_var",
"new_string": "new_var",
"replace_all": true
}
Notes
- 修改前请先用 read_file 确认文件内容
- old_string 必须精确匹配（包括缩进和空格）
- 如果 old_string 匹配多处且未设 replace_all，会报错
- 自动兼容 Windows CRLF 和 Unix LF 换行符
- 优先使用此工具而非 write_file 来编辑现有文件
