When a tool's result is too large to send back, the message about it has been reworded. It now says which tool ran, in the form \" ran, but its result is too large to send back.\" It also suggests what to do next:\n\n- Ask for less of it. For a PDF, that means fewer pages at a time.\n\n- Narrow the search.\n\n- Check what the tool changed before running it again.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude gets clear guidance for its next step when a result is too large, rather than just an error.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
