A JSON object with the operation name ('truncate'), a meta object containing chars_in (original character count), chars_out (truncated character count), and elapsed_ms (processing time in milliseconds), plus a result field with the truncated string (with optional ellipsis appended).
Example use cases

“Shorten this article intro to 200 characters with an ellipsis so I can show it as a preview snippet: 'The global economy is undergoing a profound transformation driven by technological innovation, shifting demographics, and evolving geopolitical dynamics that...'”
Trim LLM context to token budget
“I need to cut this text down to 1000 characters before sending it to the language model — please truncate it and add an ellipsis: 'In the study of cognitive science, researchers have long debated the extent to which human memory functions as a reconstructive rather than reproductive process...'”
Enforce display length for UI component
“Truncate this product description to exactly 150 characters with an ellipsis for the mobile card view: 'Our flagship ergonomic office chair features lumbar support, breathable mesh back, adjustable armrests, seat height, and tilt tension for all-day comfort.'”
