Improve error messages in models

**Description**
Currently components lacks proper pagination support.

**Proposed solution**
Add configurable pagination with sensible defaults.

**Priority**: Low/Medium

The title mentions improving model error messages, while the body requests configurable pagination for components. Start by locating the components and model entry points in the repository, then clarify which scope is intended before changing anything. Done should include sensible pagination defaults and configuration, or the specified error-message improvement, with relevant verification identified after the scope is confirmed.
