Move/rename a PHP class: moves the file, updates the namespace declaration, AND updates all references project-wide. This is the tool for full class renames. WARNING: Writes directly to disk — commit your work first!
AI agents use phpactor_move_class to create or update resources in Phpactor MCP Server — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Phpactor MCP Server environment.
This tool performs a broad write operation: it moves files on disk and rewrites multiple source files across the entire project to update references. While it modifies many files, it does not irreversibly delete data (the files still exist, just moved/renamed), so it falls under Write rather than Destructive.
From the tool's definition moves the file, updates the namespace declaration, AND updates all references project-wide. Writes directly to disk — commit your work first!

phpactor_move_class is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the phpactor_move_class rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
