This should be controlled by a configuration option:\n\n```yaml\nenable-context-compaction: true\n```\n\n### Problem\n\nCurrently, when a tool call fails due to a context error (e.g., token limit exceeded), the user must manually compact the context and retry the tool call. This is cumbersome and disrupts workflows.\n\n### Example Error\n\n```\nYour estimated chat context of 267,173 tokens exceeds the 230,000 token limit for openai/agentic!\nResponse parsing error. Model openai/agentic has hit a token limit!\nInput tokens: ~267,173 of 230,000 -- possibly exhausted context window!\nOutput tokens: ~0 of 128,000\nTotal tokens: ~267,173 of 230,000 -- possibly exhausted context window!\n```\n\n### Proposed Solution\n\n1. **Detect Context Errors**: Identify when a tool call fails due to context-related errors (e.g., token limit exceeded).\n2. **Automatic Compaction**: If `enable-context-compaction: true` is set, automatically trigger context compaction.\n3. **Retry Tool Call**: After compaction, retry the failed tool call.\n4. **Configuration**: Add a new configuration option `enable-context-compaction` to control this behavior.\n\n### Expected Behavior\n\nIf `enable-context-compaction: true`, the system should:\n1. Detect the context error.\n2. Run context compaction automatically.\n3. Retry the tool call with the compacted context.\n\n### Acceptance Criteria\n\n- [ ] Detect context errors (e.g., token limit exceeded) during tool calls.\n- [ ] Add `enable-context-compaction` configuration option.\n- [ ] Automatically compact context and retry the tool call if the option is enabled.\n- [ ] Ensure the feature is backward-compatible (disabled by default).\n- [ ] Add tests for the new functionality.\n- [ ] Update documentation to describe the new feature.\n\n### Jira Task\n\nThis issue is aligned with Jira task [CLI-56](https://team-16702636586024.atlassian.net/browse/CLI-56).","author":{"url":"https://github.com/szmania","@type":"Person","name":"szmania"},"datePublished":"2026-07-14T17:49:50.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/603/cecli/issues/603"}
