What is it for?
Use it for precise single-occurrence changes to source files or other text files from the Python environment.
Why use it?
It avoids rewriting an entire file and reduces the risk of changing the wrong occurrence during a small edit.

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

edit 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 9d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to edit — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Edit

Make a targeted edit to an existing file by replacing one exact, unique occurrence of a string. old_str must appear exactly once in the file.

Call directly from the kernel:

await edit(path="pkg/file.py", old_str=old, new_str=new)

Use exact old/new strings. If the text contains triple double quotes, use triple single-quoted variables (old = '''...''') or build old/new from inspected file slices. Returns a short confirmation; raises if old_str is missing or matches more than once (widen the snippet to make it unique).

Or from a shell cell:

!edit --path pkg/file.py --old-str "..." --new-str "..."
Changes

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.
