Description

The `file_edit` tool in the filesystem MCP server should be disabled because:

- Native tools in Claude Code and Amazon Q provide better editing capabilities
- Native tools show diffs more clearly during edits
- Reduces tool confusion and overlap
- Simplifies the MCP server by removing redundant functionality

**Proposed change:**
Remove or disable the `file_edit` tool from the filesystem MCP server configuration.
