To stop MCP tool calls from returning oversized raw responses, enforce pre-call filtering with minimal field requests, apply aggressive pagination limits, and save large data payloads to files while displaying only concise summaries.

MCP calls exhaust conversation context windows quickly because they return large unfiltered payloads; applying pre-call filters, limiting requested fields, and saving raw data to files prevents token waste and preserves context.
