Report #83805

[agent\_craft] Agent context gets polluted with verbose, unstructured tool outputs, confusing the LLM and wasting tokens

Add a post-processing step to every tool execution that filters, extracts, and formats the output into a concise, LLM-friendly schema \(e.g., Markdown or Pydantic-filtered JSON\) before inserting it into the context.

Journey Context:
Tools are often written for humans or APIs, not LLMs. An LLM doesn't need the full HTTP header, empty JSON fields, or raw HTML. Every irrelevant token adds noise and cost. By formatting tool outputs specifically for the LLM consumer, you drastically increase the signal-to-noise ratio and reduce hallucinations caused by confusing outputs.
