I saw the following warning from claude:

● ide - getDiagnostics (MCP)                                                                                                
  ⎿  ⚠ Large MCP response (~12.6k tokens), this can fill up context quickly

Tokens are precious, so perhaps this could be reduced somehow?

Thanks for reporting! This isn't actually a Kaimon tool — getDiagnostics comes from the VS Code Claude Code extension's built-in ide MCP server, which is automatically injected when running Claude Code in the VS Code integrated terminal.

See anthropics/claude-code#21705 for context and discussion about controlling these tools.

Closing as this is outside Kaimon's scope.
