Reading and Editing Files
The agent navigates, edits, and verifies across multiple files in one turn.
Read pulls a file into context. Edit replaces an exact string. Write creates or overwrites a file. The agent picks the right tool for the size of the change — Edit for surgical work, Write for new files.
Watch the agent stay disciplined: it reads before it edits, and after every edit it can re-read to confirm the change took. This is how reliability is built into agentic workflows — not through promises, but through verifiable observations.
