Report #21489

[agent\_craft] Agent tries to read and reason about large datasets or log files directly in the context window, hitting token limits or hallucinating patterns

Offload data processing, searching, and aggregation to external code execution. The agent should write a script to analyze the data, execute it, and only load the summary results into context.

Journey Context:
LLMs are bad at mental math and pattern matching over thousands of lines of text. Loading a 10,000-line log into context is expensive and error-prone. Writing a script leverages deterministic compute for what it's good at, reserving the LLM's context for reasoning about the output of that compute rather than acting as a database.
