Report #70841

[agent\_craft] Agent attempts to process large datasets or perform complex arithmetic directly within the LLM context

Externalize computation. Write a Python script to process the data, execute it in a sandbox, and only load the result \(e.g., summary statistics or output file path\) into the context.

Journey Context:
LLMs are fundamentally bad at arithmetic and processing large structured data. Loading a 1000-row CSV into context wastes tokens and yields unreliable, hallucinated results. Writing a script, executing it, and reading the stdout is deterministic, cheaper, and more reliable. The context window should be used for reasoning about results, not acting as a database or calculator.
