rewrite_link
Repoint every link to from_target at to_target across the vault. Defaults to dry_run; a real run requires confirmation. response_format=concise drops the from_target/to_target echo (to_target stays when the memoryDefense scan redacted it) and, on a real run, the per-note changes list; notes_changed and links_rewritten stay.

Annotations
Section titled “Annotations”| Annotation | Value |
|---|---|
| Read-only | no |
| Destructive | yes |
| Idempotent | no |
| Accepts an idempotency key | no |
Idempotent is the advisory MCP idempotentHint. Destructive is also yes for a tool that
asks for confirmation only on some calls.
Confirmation (human in the loop)
Section titled “Confirmation (human in the loop)”The handler asks for confirmation only when a call crosses a boundary (for example an overwrite, a folder-boundary crossing or a bulk-cost floor); other calls need none.
- The confirmation binds to a fingerprint of the state being approved, so a confirmation given for since-changed state is refused with
replay_drift.
