Implementation Reference
- src/router/operation-router.ts:551-579 (handler)Main execution logic for the 'backup_and_edit' tool. Backs up files using FileSystemManager, delegates editing to EditInstanceManager via executeWithEdit, includes backup info in response, and restores files from backups if editing fails.
case 'backup_and_edit': // Create backups with file system const backups = await Promise.all( operation.affectedFiles.map(file => this.fileSystemManager.createBackup(file) ) ); try { // Use Edit for the edits const result = await this.executeWithEdit({ ...operation, type: operation.params.operation.type }); return { ...result, backups }; } catch (error) { // If edits fail, restore backups await Promise.all( operation.affectedFiles.map((file, index) => this.fileSystemManager.restoreBackup(backups[index], file) ) ); throw error; } - src/index.ts:365-388 (registration)Registers the 'backup_and_edit' tool with the MCP server in the registerHybridTools function, defining its name, description, input schema, and operational annotations.
