We removed 80% of our agent’s tools - Vercel We spent months building a sophisticated text-to-sql agent, but as it turns out, sometimes simpler is better. Giving it the ability to execute arbitrary bash commands outperformed everything we built. We call this a file system agent.

We improved our text-to-SQL agent by removing 80% of its tools and adding a sandbox.

40% fewer tokens, 40% fewer steps, 3.5x faster.

Read about our initial build, mistakes, and file system agent success.
