Repro Code

function String(x: string) {
  return x;
}

function foo(s: string) {
  return String(s);
}

ESLint Config

module.exports = {
  parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
  parserOptions: {
    project: "./tsconfig.json",
  },
  rules: {
    "@typescript-eslint/no-unnecessary-type-conversion": "error",
  },
};

tsconfig

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "strict": true
  }
}

Expected Result

no error

Actual Result

Passing a string to String() does not change the type or value of the string

and the "Remove the type conversion." suggestion rewrites String(s) to s, which changes what the code does
