query_too_long

Error message

Query is too long, max length is ${max}.

What it means

Thrown by the members resolver when the optional query argument exceeds 255 characters. The member search is bounded to keep query cost predictable; longer strings are rejected before hitting the workspaceUser.search model. Reported with code query_too_long (HTTP 400, invalid_input).

Solutions

1. Truncate the query to <= 255 characters before sending the GraphQL request.
2. Add maxlength=255 (and client truncation) to the member-search input.
3. If you need member filtering by multiple emails, use a different/batched API rather than one long query.

Example fix

// before
members(workspace, { query: longString });
// after
members(workspace, { query: longString.slice(0, 255) });

const MAX_QUERY = 255;
function sanitizeMemberQuery(q: string | undefined): string | undefined {
  if (!q) return q;
  return q.length > MAX_QUERY ? q.slice(0, MAX_QUERY) : q;
}
// before the query
const q = sanitizeMemberQuery(rawQuery);

function isWithinQueryLimit(q: string | undefined, max = 255): boolean {
  return !q || q.length <= max;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Querying the members field of a workspace with a query string longer than 255 characters.

Common situations: A search box bound directly to the query arg without a max-length attribute; pasting a long blob/email list into the member search; a debounced search that accumulates whitespace.
