# trace-mcp — Codemod Workflow
`apply_codemod` is the correct tool for any repeated mechanical change. Using `Edit` for the same pattern twice or more is a waste of tokens and is error-prone.
## When to Use — HARD RULE
If you are about to make the **same kind of change 2 or more times** — whether in one file or across many — stop and use `apply_codemod`. This includes:
- Adding `async`/`await` to a set of functions
- Updating a function signature everywhere it is called
- Fixing import paths after a move
- Adding or removing keywords/decorators
- Wrapping calls in a logger, try/catch, or feature flag
- Replacing a deprecated API usage
