WHAT IT DOES

What preview_changes_enhanced does on Code MCP Server

AI agents call preview_changes_enhanced to retrieve information from Code MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why preview_changes_enhanced is rated Low

The tool previews changes with multiple format options, which is a read/display operation showing diffs or planned modifications without applying them. Preview operations are non-destructive read actions. Confidence is slightly reduced because 'enhanced' and 'multiple format options' are vague and could theoretically include applying changes, but 'preview' strongly implies a read-only display.
