Report #99342

[agent\_craft] The agent tries to compute, transform data, or parse text inside its own context

Externalize deterministic work. Use a code-interpreter, bash, or dedicated tool for arithmetic, multi-step data transforms, regex parsing, and exact file edits; load only the final, concise result back into the prompt.

Journey Context:
LLMs are unreliable for precise calculations and long token-level operations. Reasoning in-context wastes tokens and invites hallucination. Tool-use best practice is to let code do what code does well and keep the model in the loop only for judgment and planning.
