apply_patch Tool Documentation

Overview

The apply_patch tool enables file changes using a structured patch format with support for multi-file or multi-hunk edits where a single edit call would be brittle.

Core Functionality

This tool processes a single input string containing one or more file operations, structured with *** Begin Patch and *** End Patch markers.

Supported Operations

  • Add File: Introduces new files with *** Add File: path/to/file.txt
  • Update File: Modifies existing files with *** Update File: src/app.ts
  • Delete File: Removes files with *** Delete File: obsolete.txt
  • Rename Files: Uses *** Move to: within update hunks

Key Parameters

The tool requires a single input parameter containing the complete patch contents with appropriate delimiters.

Important Constraints

  • Paths resolve relative to workspace root
  • Currently experimental and disabled by default
  • Requires activation via tools.exec.applyPatch.enabled
  • OpenAI-exclusive support (including Codex)
  • Configuration available under tools.exec namespace only

Special Markers

*** End of File designates EOF-only insertions when necessary.
