Problem Statement

The WebFetch tool consistently truncates long documentation pages before reaching critical content, preventing Claude from accessing complete information needed to solve problems. This SILENTLY resulted in work that was completely skewed and wrong, it took a long time to find why, resulted in a significant loss of productivity, and occurred repeatedly.

This was previously reported in https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/22937 but it was closed for inactivity. Ticket stated to open a new ticket if it was still a problem so here it is. It is a crucial problem for what I was doing, which uses different documentation but the core issue is identical to the original ticket. I have to use curl instead, but it requires more work.

Proposed Solution

WebFetch should have an option to change the truncation size or to not truncate.
