Read, write, and edit files on disk safely — locate the right file, change only what was asked, and confirm before anything destructive. Use when the user wants a file read, created, modified, or searched for by name or content.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# File Ops Touching a file on someone's disk is not like answering a question — a wrong guess doesn't just look bad, it overwrites something they cannot get back. Slow down in proportion to how hard the change is to undo. ## Procedure 1. **Find it before you touch it.** Don't guess a path from memory or the user's description. Use `find_files(query)` for "the report from last week" style requests, or `search_file_content(pattern)` when you know a string that must be inside the file but not which file it's in. Confirm the exact path with `get_file_info` before acting on it — a near-miss filename is easy to write to by accident. 2. **Read before you write or edit.** `read_file(file_path)` first, every time — even for a file you edited two turns ago. It may have changed since, and `edit_file` only succeeds against the file's *current* exact content. 3. **Prefer `edit_file` over `write_file` for existing files.** `edit_file` replaces one exact string (`old_content` → `new_content`); it only changes what you targeted. `write_file` replaces the entire file — reach for it only when creating a new file or when you genuinely mean to replace everything. …

How to install
mdr add amd/gaia/file-ops@sha256:f0fa26aeab6a9a70The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
