TL;DR

The orchestrator is losing track of the agent team and spawning new ones, likely due to the MaxFileReadTokenExceededError caused by exceeding the maximum allowed tokens when reading files.

Guidance

• The MaxFileReadTokenExceededError suggests that the file content exceeds the maximum allowed tokens (10000), and using offset and limit parameters to read specific portions of the file may resolve the issue.
• The error "Already leading team" indicates that a leader can only manage one team at a time, and using TeamDelete to end the current team before creating a new one may help.
• Investigate the file reading process and consider implementing pagination or filtering to reduce the amount of data being read.
• Review the team management logic to ensure that teams are being properly deleted or managed before creating new ones.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue is more related to the logic and configuration of the system rather than a specific code snippet.

Notes

The provided content was truncated, which may limit the ability to fully understand the issue. Additionally, the errors suggest that there may be multiple factors contributing to the problem, and a thorough investigation of the system's configuration and logic is necessary to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by implementing pagination or filtering when reading files to reduce the amount of data being read, and review the team management logic to ensure proper team deletion and management. This may help alleviate the MaxFileReadTokenExceededError and prevent the orchestrator from losing track of the agent team.
