[FEATURE] For Messages that contain more than 5 documents strip out the older ones #1861
Description
Problem Statement
It appears that currently Strands attempts to send all documents in as a single Bedrock call. This can be a problem as if the user at any point has more than 5 documents within the message history, this will cause a Validation Exception on the Bedrock side.
Ideally, Strands should be smart enough to recognize that it needs to send those documents as separate requests and thus avoid some of the file limitations of Bedrock, that normally you would just avoid programmatically by sending the info in separate API calls.
Proposed Solution
Strands Agents should know enough about what's in its message history to know not to send 6+ documents into a single Bedrock API call. Perhaps a solution, would be to convert older files in the message into a summarized document rather than an actual doc block
{
"document": { }
}
Use Case
If Strands Agents is being used in any normal chat related interface that allows for file uploads/attachments, when users are interacting with the agent and uploading files, the agent will hang on the 6th file upload and the session memory becomes corrupted into a state where it is unrecoverable due to the exception.
