search-and-replace

search-and-replace is a cursor rule for Cursor from mondweep/remote-mcp-creation-foundation. It costs 5 tokens per session (253 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Rules for safely changing text in files through search-and-replace operations. They cover plain text searches and regular expressions, which are patterns for matching text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to replace matching text in an existing file, including repeated or pattern-based replacements.
Why use it?
They reduce mistakes such as changing the wrong file, omitting required fields, or using an invalid search pattern.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

search-and-replace scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Search and Replace Guidelines

search_and_replace

<search_and_replace>
  <path>File path here</path>
  <operations>
    [{"search":"old_text","replace":"new_text","use_regex":true}]
  </operations>
</search_and_replace>

Required Parameters:

  • path: The file path to modify
  • operations: JSON array of search and replace operations

Each Operation Must Include:

  • search: The text to search for (REQUIRED)
  • replace: The text to replace with (REQUIRED)
  • use_regex: Boolean indicating whether to use regex (optional, defaults to false)

Common Errors to Avoid:

  • Missing search parameter
  • Missing replace parameter
  • Invalid JSON format in operations array
  • Attempting to modify non-existent files
  • Malformed regex patterns when use_regex is true

Best Practices:

  • Always include both search and replace parameters
  • Verify the file exists before attempting to modify it
  • Use apply_diff for complex changes instead
  • Test regex patterns separately before using them
  • Escape special characters in regex patterns

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
