Report #86647

[agent\_craft] Agent loads massive datasets or log files into its context window to perform analysis or filtering, wasting tokens and slowing down

Delegate data manipulation, filtering, and aggregation to external code execution \(e.g., Python REPL, shell scripts\). The agent should write a script to process the data, execute it, and only load the \*result\* \(e.g., the final sum, the filtered list of 5 items\) into its context.

Journey Context:
LLMs are powerful reasoners but inefficient processors. Loading a 10,000-row CSV into the context to find the maximum value costs thousands of tokens and is highly prone to hallucination or arithmetic errors. The agent's context should be reserved for high-level planning, code generation, and synthesizing results. By writing a script to do the heavy lifting, the agent leverages deterministic compute for data tasks and keeps the context window clean for logic.
