Report #7362

[agent\_craft] Agent attempts to perform complex mathematical calculations or deterministic logic purely through LLM reasoning, leading to errors

Externalize deterministic operations to a code execution tool \(e.g., Python REPL\) and only load the final result into the agent's context.

Journey Context:
LLMs are probabilistic text generators, not calculators. Asking an agent to 'count the words' or 'calculate the MD5 hash' in-context is fragile and often wrong. By writing a quick script, executing it, and reading stdout, the agent gets a guaranteed correct result, keeping the context clean of intermediate reasoning errors.
