🔁 Steps to Reproduce

Left side is Code mode prompt from 3.18.4, right side 3.19.1

The text representation:
in 3.18.4:

For example, to use the read_file tool:

<read_file>
<path>src/main.js</path>
</read_file>

in 3.19.1:

For example, to use the read_file tool:

<new_task>
<mode>code</mode>
<message>Implement a new feature for the application.</message>
</new_task>

In 3.19.1 read_file accepts new format, probably issue arise from that:

3. Reading an entire file:
<read_file>
<args>
  <file>
    <path>config.json</path>
  </file>
</args>
</read_file>

💥 Outcome Summary

Wrong tool use example in the system prompt, telling the example is for read_file but example is for new_task.

Hi @avtc! I'm Dosu and I’m helping the Roo-Code team.

You're correct—there is a discrepancy in the prompt example for the read_file tool in version 3.19.1. The example shown is for new_task, not read_file. The correct usage for the read_file tool in 3.19.1 uses a new format that wraps the file path in <args> and <file> tags, like this:

<read_file>
  <args>
    <file>
      <path>config.json</path>
    </file>
  </args>
</read_file>

This updated format allows for more structured arguments and supports additional parameters such as start_line and end_line for partial file reads. The tool validates the required path parameter, resolves relative paths, and can handle full file reads, line ranges, or automatic truncation for large files. It also adds line numbers to the output and can extract text from PDFs and DOCX files. You can find more details about its behavior and parameters in the official documentation.

I did not find any documentation or discussions specifically addressing the incorrect example in the prompt, but the documentation does reflect the new usage format for the read_file tool as of the latest update. If you need to reference or share the correct example, use the format above.

To reply, just mention my name @dosu.
