Rovodev not responding after calling grep_file_content and grep_file_path

[Công Đạt Trần]

The agent runs normally until I directly or indirectly ask it to explore a folder with complex structure and/or multiple files, at which point it called grep_file_path and freeze completely, or it called grep_file_content and give this specific error "Error executing tool grep_file_content: Grep command timed out after 60 seconds:.Try using a more specific pattern".  The grep_file_content error doesn't freeze rovo, but grep_file_path does.

Hi @Công Đạt Trần  and welcome to the community —this happens when the agent hits large or deeply nested directories with broad search patterns. grep_file_content times out after 60s by design. Try narrowing your pattern (e.g., "*.json" or specific keywords). Avoid using grep_file_path on large trees—it can stall the CLI.
