Stop burning tokens on JSON overhead for your coding agents
◆ 85RelevanceOn a story from The New Stack1mo ago
Token efficiency is a direct lever for your agent's margins and performance. Moving beyond verbose JSON for tool outputs reduces latency and prevents your context window from filling with structural boilerplate.

- JSON boilerplate is a silent drain on your agent's inference budget.
- Compact formats like TOON maximize context window for actual logic.
- Audit your tool output formats before scaling high-volume agentic workflows.
