    I think "massage" is used as a verb here, with the meaning of "manipulate,
    tailor, polish". Can a native English speaker tell whether this verb exists
    at all, or whether another verb should be used?

Indeed, "massage" is being used correctly here, and it is a common usage
in the computer world, so it seems fine to me.  "manipulate" would be ok
too, and would slightly more formal/standard usage.
