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 message suggests that the file being read exceeds the maximum allowed tokens, so try to limit the amount of data being read.
• Check the API documentation for the offset and limit parameters to understand how to use them to read specific portions of the file.
• Consider searching for specific content instead of reading the whole file to reduce the amount of data being processed.
• Review the code at cli.js:4309:13191 to identify where the file is being read and modify it to use the suggested parameters.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not include enough context about the code.

Notes

The provided errors suggest that the issue is related to reading large files, but without more information about the code and the specific use case, it's difficult to provide a more detailed solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The error message provides a clear suggestion to use the offset and limit parameters to read specific portions of the file, which should help mitigate the issue.
