Description often trimmed

I am not sure this is the right subforum but could not find any better, moderators, feel free to move or delete.

Frequently, when I get ebooks from sources that do not really respect copyright much (mobilism forums, libgen), I notice the ebooks have trimmed description at around 1000 characters (looks like a word below 1024) when it stops in mid-sentence by three dots. In practise, it is this tag:

Code:

<description xmlns="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"

Is there any tool that routinely trims this field? Or is there indeed a limit on the length of this tag?

You won't be betting any help on MR with your illegally downloaded eBook. Please don't ask for help with them.
