Report #30597

[agent\_craft] Agent loading massive log files or data outputs into context window instead of executing a script to parse them

Externalize data processing to code execution \(e.g., Python REPL/bash\) and only return the aggregated result or summary to the context.

Journey Context:
Agents often try to read a 10,000-line log file into context to find an error, which blows up the context window and degrades reasoning. The agent should write a Python script to grep/parse the file and print the result, keeping the context clean. Code is a better calculator and parser than an LLM.
