shell_command: apply schema default for outputLimitChars; spill oversized output to /tmp

[casey-brooks]

Summary

• parse shell_command config through ShellToolStaticConfigSchema to honor default outputLimitChars
• add regression test covering default truncation behavior and saved spillover reference

Testing

• pnpm --filter @agyn/platform-server lint
• pnpm --filter @agyn/platform-server test

Resolves #1325

[noa-lucent]

LGTM. Parsing the static config through the schema applies the 50k default and keeps the other defaults sourced from zod, and the new regression test clearly covers the oversized-output flow.

[rowan-stein]

LGTM: fixes shell_command oversize handling by applying schema default and adds regression test.

Regression Check (pre-fix behavior)

• pnpm -w vitest run packages/platform-server/tests/tools/shell.output.limit.numeric-config.integration.test.ts
  • ❌ Fails: expected tool output to include "Full output saved to /tmp/" but tool returned TOOL_OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE (limit treated as 0).

[rowan-stein]

Per request: reverted implementation changes while keeping tests to reproduce the bug.

Repro evidence (numeric-config integration test):

• Command: yes X | head -c 200000
• Node config: outputLimitChars: 50000 (fed via test)
• Expected (spillover): short truncation message + /tmp/<uuid>.txt reference
• Observed (pre-fix behavior): reducer emitted TOOL_OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE and returned a long string

This confirms the regression in the old implementation.

[casey-brooks]

Local Verification

• pnpm --filter @agyn/platform-server lint
• pnpm --filter @agyn/platform-server exec vitest run tests/tools (108 passed)
• pnpm --filter @agyn/platform-server exec vitest run e2e (8 passed)

[casey-brooks]

Reproduced the oversized-output regression with the YAML-backed E2E:

• Command: pnpm --filter @agyn/platform-server exec vitest run __e2e__/shellCommand.yaml-config.integration.test.ts
• YAML node config:

  template: shellTool
  config:
    executionTimeoutMs: 300000
    idleTimeoutMs: 60000
    workdir: /workspace
    outputLimitChars: '2048'
  state:
    provider:
      raw: {}
    config:
      executionTimeoutMs: 300000
      idleTimeoutMs: 60000
      workdir: /workspace
      outputLimitChars: '2048'

• Observed tool result:

  {"status":"error","tool_name":"shell_command","tool_call_id":"call-shell-yaml","error_code":"TOOL_OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE","message":"Tool shell_command produced output longer than 50000 characters.","original_args":{"command":"yes X | head -c 200000"},"details":{"length":200000},"retriable":false}

• ShellCommandTool log:

  DEBUG outputLimitChars raw string 2048
  

The reducer reports TOOL_OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE because the raw config reaches the reducer as a string, so the tool bypasses the truncation path.

[casey-brooks]

Re-ran the FsGraphRepository E2E against the reverted shell tool code using the exact numeric YAML node config from the user:

id: cc8d56d8-ee2d-4303-8341-ace54c4f3fd7
template: shellTool
config:
  env: []
  executionTimeoutMs: 300000
  idleTimeoutMs: 60000
  workdir: /workspace
  outputLimitChars: 50000
position:
  x: 1151.3304377147065
  y: -718.0877350439077

Command:

pnpm --filter @agyn/platform-server exec vitest run __e2e__/shellCommand.yaml-config.integration.test.ts

Raw output:

stdout | __e2e__/shellCommand.yaml-config.integration.test.ts > ...
FsGraph runtime node.config outputLimitChars number 50000
ShellCommandTool resolved outputLimitChars number 50000

 ✓ __e2e__/shellCommand.yaml-config.integration.test.ts (1 test)

Result: the test passes and the tool returns the truncated response (no TOOL_OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE). Both the runtime node config and ShellCommandTool#getResolvedConfig() report outputLimitChars as a numeric 50000.

[casey-brooks]

Added FsGraph-backed reproductions for both streaming and non-streaming paths using the user’s YAML verbatim (outputLimitChars: 50000). Commands and raw outputs:

Both paths respect the numeric limit, persist the oversized output to /tmp/<uuid>.txt, and avoid TOOL_OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE. The comparison yes command validates the harness when the pnpm output changes.

Added minimal agent+shell E2E (no product code changes): packages/platform-server/e2e/minimal-agent-shell.yaml.e2e.test.ts

• YAML: single agent, single shell tool, numeric outputLimitChars: 50000
• Command: pnpm --filter @agyn/platform-server test (simulated large output via stub)
• Path: agent → shell (through reducer)
• Result: truncation spill to /tmp and short message; no TOOL_OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE.

This confirms the minimal setup behaves correctly under the current repo state. If your environment still triggers TOOL_OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE for this minimal config, please share the run/thread ID and any surrounding logs so we can mirror your exact execution path.

[rowan-stein]

Fix: enforce outputLimit on final assembled output in streaming path when no chunks were processed.

• Adds a post-assembly check in ShellCommandTool.executeStreaming: if finalCombinedOutput.length > outputLimit, the tool saves the full output to /tmp and returns a short truncation message; terminal status is marked as 'truncated'.
• This addresses cases where Docker provides no onOutput chunks, so chunk-based truncation doesn't trigger.
