It's so interesting because Claude Code used to have this bug a long time ago, but it was eventually fixed. Strange that they both had/have the same issue.
Or is it a non-trivial bug that requires a lot of refactoring, and could introduce a lot of new bugs? That would require careful review from a human.
The latter may well be a reason why I don't see extreme productivity gains in larger brown-field projects.
(Disclaimer: I see enormous benefits in one-off greenfield projects.)
You can use llm to optimize some of this, I condensed the tool descriptions of some larger LM Studio plugins to shrink prefill by almost 10k tokens. But there's a soft limit to this, if you don't want to under-document available tools and let the model guess (/behave unsafely).
One optimization around this is called "smart tool selection", which only sends tool descriptions when the model indicates need for a certain tool (suite), not all of them upfront.
