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

• The MaxFileReadTokenExceededError suggests that the file content exceeds the maximum allowed tokens (3000), so consider reading specific portions of the file using offset and limit parameters.
• Verify that the file paths are correct and the files exist, as some errors indicate that files do not exist.
• Check the current working directory to ensure it is correct, as some errors provide suggestions for alternative file paths.
• Consider searching for specific content instead of reading the whole file to reduce the number of tokens.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information to create a specific example.

Notes

The issue is truncated, so there may be additional errors or information that is not included. The provided guidance is based on the available information.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use offset and limit parameters to read specific portions of the file, as this is a direct solution to the MaxFileReadTokenExceededError and does not require any version upgrades or changes to the environment.
