Description
### Checks
- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again
### Operating system
MacOS 15.5
### Expected behaviour
Q should inspect file sizes before reading files to prevent overflowing the context window. The better solution is for the fs_read tool to refuse to read large files and adhere to a reasonable default which is user definable.
### Actual behaviour
Q gleefully shoots itself in the head 🤯🔫 , and then much of my context is lost in the summarization process.
### Steps to reproduce
Tell Q to read a ridiculously large log file. This happens to me when conductng code debugging and e2e testing.
### Environment
```yaml
```
