Agents and Workflows

Your Claude application uses multi-step workflows in which each step’s output is required only briefly before the agent continues. Cumulative tool output is filling the context window with content that is no longer relevant. How would you manage the accumulating tool output?

Explanation

Tool output pruning removes results that later workflow steps no longer require, preventing obsolete tool-result content from consuming the context window. Tool-result blocks contribute to the input tokens sent to Claude, so caching retained results does not solve context bloat.
