The entire thread is about managing token consumption and context window pollution through architectural isolation patterns.

The agent started losing context mid-run. It would correctly identify an anomaly in step 3, then forget it existed by step 7 when it needed that finding to make a final decision. The context window wa

Specialized knowledge for each capability doesn't fit comfortably in a single prompt. If context windows were infinite and latency was zero, you could include all relevant information upfront. In prac

As the session context crosses 85% of the model's available window, Deep Agents will truncate older tool calls, replacing them with a pointer to the file on disk and reducing the size of the active co

Without orchestration, agents duplicate effort, contradict each other, and lose context at every handoff. With it, you get systems that resolve customer tickets, process insurance claims, and manage s
