Bug Description

When attempting to create a large HTML file using the WriteFile tool, the tool fails with the following error:

```
params must have required property 'file_path'
Note: Your previous response was truncated due to max_tokens limit, which likely caused incomplete tool call parameters.
```

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use the WriteFile tool to create a large HTML file (landing page with extensive CSS and JavaScript)
  2. The tool call gets truncated due to max_tokens limit
  3. The file_path parameter is not properly included in the tool call

Expected Behavior

The WriteFile tool should successfully create the file with all provided content.

Actual Behavior

The tool call is truncated, resulting in missing required parameters.

Workaround

The file was eventually created successfully on the second attempt:
```
✓ WriteFile Writing to landing.html
```

Environment

  • Tool: Qwen Code CLI
  • File type: HTML (landing page)
  • Content size: Large (includes full CSS styles and JavaScript)

Additional Context

This appears to be related to response token limits when creating files with extensive content. The content included:

  • Full HTML5 document structure
  • Embedded CSS (500+ lines)
  • JavaScript for animations and interactivity
  • Code rain canvas animation

Consider implementing chunked file writing or increasing token limits for large file creation operations.
