Parse oversized MCP tool output. When a tool returns "Output has been saved to <file>.txt" because the result exceeded Claude Code's token limit, run this skill's parser instead of re-reading the file in chunks. Covers `get_reachability` on large topologies and `service_snapshot` on labs with many published hostnames.
Install

Oversized Tool Outputs
When a tool reports:
Run the parser via the launcher:
Auto-detection picks one of three formatters based on payload shape:
- Reachability: payload carries
hosts+results(covers bothget_reachability()andsafe_reachability --json). The reachability formatter groups failures by source/destination, surfaces clustered suspect destinations, and preserves the host/IP inventory. - Service snapshot: text payload starts with
=== SERVICE SNAPSHOT ===. The formatter preserves the header (resolver groups, DNS outcome groups, HTTP outcome groups, suspect clients, coverage warnings) and all per-service-device blocks in full, and condenses each per-client block to its nameservers + aggregate flags. The DNS/HTTP outcome groups already aggregate the per-host/per-URL outcomes across clients, so per-zone failure patterns (e.g. one pod's DNS resolves while peers returnno_addresses) stay visible. To see raw per-row addresses for a single client, rerunservice_snapshot --client <name>instead of re-reading the saved file. - Generic: any other oversized JSON falls through to a key/structure summary; plain-text payloads are emitted truncated.
Override with --type reachability, --type service_snapshot, or --type generic only if auto-detection picks the wrong formatter.
Reading the parser output
- Rows missing
tx,rx,loss_percent, orrtt_avg_msare NOT healthy — treat as investigation leads. - If many sources show suspicious rows toward a small destination set, that's a shared-path symptom: check the path or the shared upstream router before blaming the source hosts.
- The parser output is triage guidance, not final proof. Confirm locally before naming a faulty device.
