TL;DR

Use offset and limit parameters to read specific portions of the file instead of reading the whole file to avoid exceeding the maximum allowed tokens.

Guidance

• Identify the file that is being read and determine the necessary portions to read.
• Modify the code to use offset and limit parameters when reading the file.
• Consider searching for specific content instead of reading the whole file.
• Review the error messages to ensure that the issue is resolved after implementing the changes.

Example

No explicit code example can be provided without more context, but the error message suggests modifying the eEK function in cli.js to use offset and limit parameters.

Notes

The solution assumes that the file being read is too large and that using offset and limit parameters is feasible. If the file is not too large, other issues may be causing the error.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The error message provides a clear suggestion to use offset and limit parameters, which is a reasonable workaround to avoid exceeding the maximum allowed tokens.
