VerifiedPrompt and Context Engineering

Your agent makes 10 to 15 tool calls per task, and you have observed that it sometimes loses track of earlier results by the time it reaches later steps. The agent's context window is large enough to hold all the messages, but relevant information seems to get buried as the conversation grows.

How would you address this?

Explanation

Summarizing or pruning older tool outputs reduces context clutter while preserving important results and the active task state. This makes relevant information easier for the agent to use even when the full conversation already fits within the context window. Summaries should retain details needed for later steps.
