Report #1426

[agent\_craft] Agent loads massive file contents or data structures into context to analyze them instead of using code execution

Delegate data extraction, parsing, and aggregation to a code execution tool \(e.g., Python REPL\). Instruct the agent to write a script to find the answer and only return the final result to the context.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to 'read' their way through a 10,000-line JSON log or a massive CSV by loading it into the context window. This wastes tokens, increases latency, and triggers lost-in-the-middle errors. LLMs are bad at deterministic parsing of large text. The agent should use its code execution environment as a stateful scratchpad and compute engine, keeping the context window reserved for reasoning and planning.

environment: Data analysis, log parsing, large codebase exploration · tags: code-execution context-window tool-use externalization · source: swarm · provenance: https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.15793
