Also relevant, here is the potential reduction in tool call outputs, if you were to change that hard cap to other values

For example, if you changed the hard cap from 40-50 kB to 1-2 kB, then overall you would have your tool calls have 80-85% less characters and hence tokens

The graph is of course skewed due to the existing 40-50 kB hard caps from codex and pi

Leaving here as a reference for people who might want to optimize their harness limits
