-## Context Limiting for MCP
-
-All tools now support the `maxResponseSize` parameter to limit response size for better MCP compatibility. This is especially useful for large responses that may exceed MCP context limits.
-
-**Example Usage:**
-```json
-{
-  "name": "firecrawl_scrape",
-  "arguments": {
-    "url": "https://example.com",
-    "formats": ["markdown"],
-    "maxResponseSize": 50000
-  }
-}
-```
-
-When the response exceeds the specified limit, content will be truncated with a clear message indicating truncation occurred. This parameter is optional and preserves full backward compatibility.
