## TL;DR

Upgrade to atlas CLI v1.9.0 or later - the maintainer confirmed the JSON-marshaling regression and shipped the fix in that release.

## Steps

1. Upgrade to atlas CLI v1.9.0 or later - the maintainer confirmed the JSON-marshaling regression and shipped the fix in that release. Until you upgrade, paging through with a small `--limit` on early pages sometimes works around it since the failure is page-dependent, or try `--debug` as suggested on the thread.
