Description

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** Bugs

If I give my agent too big a task in interactive mode, the agent never finishes the task, and instead gets stuck with some error "file_text: Required".

I understand this error to be because the agent is trying to pass too much text in the "file_text" parameter when trying to write to a file. This would make sense since I gave the agent a pretty hefty research task, and it decided to write it's findings all to a single text file.

When I prompted the agent to break the task into sub tasks, it worked no problem. However, it would be nice to be able to have the agent be able to autonomously break the task into sub tasks.
