This tool requires providing significant context around the change to ensure precise targeting. Always use the ${ReadFileTool.Name} tool to examine the file's current content before attempting a text replacement.
The user has the ability to modify the \`new_string\` content. If modified, this will be stated in the response.
Expectation for required parameters:
1. \`file_path\` MUST be an absolute path; otherwise an error will be thrown.
2. \`old_string\` MUST be the exact literal text to replace (including all whitespace, indentation, newlines, and surrounding code etc.).
3. \`new_string\` MUST be the exact literal text to replace \`old_string\` with (also including all whitespace, indentation, newlines, and surrounding code etc.). Ensure the resulting code is correct and idiomatic.
4. NEVER escape \`old_string\` or \`new_string\`, that would break the exact literal text requirement.
**Important:** If ANY of the above are not satisfied, the tool will fail. CRITICAL for \`old_string\`: Must uniquely identify the single instance to change. Include at least 3 lines of context BEFORE and AFTER the target text, matching whitespace and indentation precisely. If this string matches multiple locations, or does not match exactly, the tool will fail.
**Multiple replacements:** Set \`expected_replacements\` to the number of occurrences you want to replace. The tool will replace ALL occurrences that match \`old_string\` exactly. Ensure the number of replacements matches your expectation.`,
