Report #26847

[agent\_craft] Agent attempts complex multi-step arithmetic or sorting purely through in-context reasoning

Offload deterministic operations, math, and complex data manipulation to a code execution tool \(e.g., Python REPL\). Use the LLM for orchestration and semantic reasoning, not calculation.

Journey Context:
LLMs are semantic engines, not calculators. Doing math or complex logic in-context leads to cascading hallucination errors. Writing a small script, executing it, and reading the stdout is far more reliable and saves context window for actual decision-making.
