TL;DR

Use the offset and limit parameters to read specific portions of the file instead of reading the whole file to avoid the MaxFileReadTokenExceededError.

Guidance

• The error messages indicate that the file content exceeds the maximum allowed tokens, suggesting that the file is too large to be read in a single operation.
• To mitigate this, use the offset and limit parameters to read specific portions of the file, as suggested in the error message.
• Review the code at /src/entrypoints/cli.js lines 4449 and 1268 to understand how file reading is currently implemented and modify it to use pagination or streaming.
• Consider searching for specific content instead of reading the whole file to reduce the amount of data being processed.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more context, but the general approach would involve modifying the file reading function to accept offset and limit parameters, like readFile(offset, limit).

Notes

The provided errors and stack traces suggest that the issue is related to reading large files, but without more information about the code and its intended functionality, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the file reading code to use offset and limit parameters to avoid reading large files in a single operation, as this is a direct solution to the MaxFileReadTokenExceededError.
