replace_docstring
Replace or insert a Python docstring on a function or class using AST editing. Provide the file path, target symbol, and new docstring as a triple-quoted string.
Instructions
Replace or insert a Python docstring on a function or class. Python-only. The new_docstring should be a valid Python string literal including its surrounding triple quotes.
Use this when: You want to add or update a Python docstring without touching
the function body.
Don't use this when: You're editing a # comment above the symbol -> use
replace_leading_comment. You're in a non-Python file -> no equivalent tool.
Example: target="LRUCache.get" new_docstring=(triple-quoted string, e.g. with three double-quotes before and after the summary text)
