Report #27610

[agent\_craft] Agent attempts to parse large datasets or perform complex logic directly in the LLM context instead of writing code

If a task requires iterating over >20 items, performing complex math, or applying regex across a file, externalize to a Python/Node execution sandbox rather than doing it in-context.

Journey Context:
LLMs are bad at rote calculation, counting, and complex logic. Agents often try to 'think' their way through parsing a JSON or calculating coordinates, leading to errors. The fix is to recognize the class of problem \(computation vs. reasoning\) and write a script, run it, and read the stdout.
