Context Engineering: Stop Agents from Choking on Their Own Data

Your agent just ingested 214KB of server logs. No error, but the answer is garbage. The context window silently overflowed, the data got truncated, and the agent answered with confidence from half the information. It gets worse when several agents pass the same data between them. The fix is to stop putting big data in the window at all. Store the large output to the side and hand back a short reference, so 214KB becomes a 52 byte pointer. Agents that share the work read from that store instead of stuffing data into context. A 3 agent pipeline then handles 145KB of logs in about 14 seconds. You leave with a working pattern, a way to share that data across several agents, and a way to catch silent overflow before it reaches production.
