Bug Report: [Tooling] — `read` tool fails with "Maximum call stack size exceeded"

Severity Assessment

Impact: Critical. Prevents the agent from reading any files, making it impossible to perform its primary function of analyzing code.
Likelihood: High. The error occurs consistently, even with small files.
Priority: Critical

Location

Tool: read

Description

The read tool consistently fails with a "RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded" error, regardless of the file path or the size of the content being read. This error also affects the ca-ref-reader task, which depends on file reading capabilities.

Evidence

Multiple calls to the read tool with different files and parameters all resulted in the same error. For example:

read(filePath='docs/specification.md')
read(filePath='docs/specification.md', limit=100)

Expected Behavior

The read tool should return the content of the specified file.

Actual Behavior

The read tool throws a "RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded" error.

Suggested Fix

Investigate the implementation of the read tool for potential infinite recursion or other sources of stack overflow.

Issue triaged by project owner — closing as Won't Do.

This is a tooling infrastructure bug in the agent's read tool, not a bug in the cleveragents-core codebase. The "Maximum call stack size exceeded" error is in the agent runtime environment, not in any Python code in this repository. This issue should be tracked in the agent infrastructure project, not here.
