Description

Large tool responses are currently truncated/offloaded. In cases where the agent needs the complete output (for example, parsing a large JSON result), it may instead make many range reads and still fail to use the right tool.

Please provide an explicit, guarded way for an agent to request the full tool output or access the offloaded response for a specific call.
