TL;DR

Use 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 issue is related to file size or reading large files.
• To mitigate this, use the offset and limit parameters to read specific portions of the file, as suggested in the error messages.
• Review the code in cli.js at lines 4307 and 1243 to understand how file reading is handled and where the error is occurring.
• Consider optimizing the file reading process or adjusting the verification loops to reduce the load on the system.

Notes

• The issue seems to be related to the file size and the maximum allowed tokens, but the root cause may be more complex and require further investigation.
• The provided error messages and code snippets are not sufficient to determine the exact cause of the issue, and more information may be needed to provide a complete solution.

Recommendation

• Apply workaround: Use offset and limit parameters to read specific portions of the file, as this is a direct solution to the error message and may help mitigate the issue.
