Report #85294

[agent\_craft] Agent attempts complex math or string manipulation via chain-of-thought reasoning instead of writing code

Offload deterministic operations \(math, regex, large JSON parsing\) to a code execution tool and only pass the result back to context.

Journey Context:
LLMs are bad at arithmetic and precise string manipulation. Doing this in-context wastes tokens and introduces hallucination. Externalizing guarantees correctness and saves context space for actual reasoning.
