lsp-edit-symbol

Edit a named symbol (function, type, variable) without needing its exact file path or line/column. Primary path uses replace_symbol_body for direct symbol replacement. Falls back to find_symbol + list_symbols + apply_edit when the server does not support document symbols well.

Workflow

Step 1 — Locate the file

{ "tool": "find_symbol", "query": "MyFunc" }

Returns a list of matching symbols with file URI and position. Pick the definition (not a test file, not a stub). If multiple matches, use the container name or file path to disambiguate.
