Report #14073

[agent\_craft] Agent OOMs or degrades when loading large data files into context for analysis

Externalize data manipulation to code execution. Use context only for the plan and the result, not the raw data.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to read a CSV or JSON to analyze it. This fills the context with low-value raw data, causing rot and hitting token limits. The agent should write a Python script to process the data, execute it in a sandbox, and only load the printed result \(e.g., summary stats\) into context. This trades a slight delay in tool execution for massive context savings.
