Implementation Reference
- src/tools/misc.py:76-106 (handler)The rename tool handler function. Decorated with @mcp.tool(), it renames a Redis key from old_key to new_key. Validates that the old key exists before renaming, catches RedisError exceptions, and returns a dict with status/error information.
