I am thinking that a small tool that simply refuses to pass large CLI output to the LLM and warns it to filter the results before reading would achieve this better as the LLM would be forced into thinking and writting the filter itself.

I simply use LLM to create filter for my personal use. I have already put that specific instruction in the plugin doc in case you are interested.

I think GP is basically saying, bitter lesson applies here.
