How we reduced coding-agent token usage by 17.9% with an MCP server

Coding agents are powerful, but in day-to-day development they waste a lot of tokens on noisy tool output. A typical cargo test or git status through generic shell tooling sends back a lot of text that an agent doesn’t actually need to reason with. The model still has to read it, pay for it, and carry it in context. I built Daimonos to reduce that waste.
