SHarP: Saliency-based Pruning of Agent Harnesses

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.04178v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent harnesses are systems that coordinate model calls, tool use, and task execution to help large language models complete complex tasks. To meet task requirements and address failures, these systems are often iteratively refined by amending and patching their instructions, tools, and workflows, continuously increasing harness complexity. It is therefore unclear whether some resulting harness modules are redundant, introducing substantial token o
