claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] System-injected tools and schemas consume excessive tokens without user control [2 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by optimizing or reconfiguring the system-injected tools list, skills list, and tool schemas to reduce token consumption.

Guidance

• Investigate alternative access methods for the deferred tools list, skills list, and tool schemas that do not rely on customer tokens.
• Review the project configuration to determine if there are any settings that can be adjusted to reduce the token cost of these system-injected components.
• Consider reaching out to the harness developers or maintainers to discuss potential optimizations or changes that can be made to reduce token consumption.
• Evaluate the possibility of caching or pre-loading the tools list, skills list, and tool schemas to minimize the number of requests and subsequent token usage.

Notes

The provided information does not include specific details about the harness or the token system, which may be necessary to develop a comprehensive solution. Further investigation and collaboration with the harness developers or maintainers may be required to resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: The issue is likely related to the token consumption of system-injected components, and optimizing or reconfiguring these components may provide a temporary solution until a more permanent fix can be implemented.
