Description

Hello!

We have hundreds of tables and view, and when I ask claude to look at a particular table schema I usually get an error along the lines of:

AI_APICallError: input length and `max_tokens` exceed context limit: 188908 + 32000 > 200000, decrease input length or `max_tokens` and try again

or

Error: MCP tool "database-schema" response (85478 tokens) exceeds maximum allowed tokens (25000). Please use pagination, filtering, or limit parameters to reduce the response size.

Steps To Reproduce

ask boost to look at the database schema

Even on databases with small schemas, I'm finding this is the case.

My workaround is When calling mcp__laravel-boost__database-schema, only request specific tables to not overwhelm context.
