Report #50467

[agent\_craft] Agent reads massive files like logs or data files into context, causing token overflow and confusion

Delegate filtering and processing of large data structures to bash tools \(grep, awk, jq\) and only load the results into the agent's context window.

Journey Context:
Agents are tempted to cat files to understand them. This fills the context with noise and hits token limits. Code execution environments are vastly more efficient at regex and filtering. The agent should write a script, execute it, and read stdout.
