java_change_method_signature
Change a Java method or record constructor signature by adding, removing, or reordering parameters in one refactoring. Automatically updates record declarations and call sites.
Instructions
Change a Java method or record constructor signature with multiple parameter operations (add, remove, reorder) in a single refactoring. More efficient than calling individual tools when making multiple changes. For Java records, use methodName "" or the class name - the tool auto-detects records and updates both the record declaration AND all "new RecordName(...)" call sites (adding null for new parameters).
