I'd argue that many CLI tools output too much log spew by default and rely on making humans take up the burden of parsing through masses of output to find the one useful line.
For another example of where this is a problem, look at any large company that pays to keep logs in kibana, the amount of over logging paid for is insane.
Approximately 1/3rd of my Claude code tokens are spent parsing CLI output, that is insane! Often Claude doesn't catch what it needs in the massive log outputs and I have to go through the logs myself to find the problem and point it out to Claude.
