Agentic Context Cracking: Token-Efficient Data Reasoning Agents via Adaptive Structuring of Unstructured Data

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 31, 2026 · UTC

Valuable data remains embedded in unstructured sources: web pages, reports, contracts, filings, earnings calls, and PDFs. The big bet in enterprise AI is deploying LLM agents that reason over this data to answer complex questions for every knowledge worker. Agents can do this today, but at prohibitive cost. Each question repeatedly opens large documents to recover scattered evidence, consuming up to a million tokens. However, if the data were already structured, the same question would reduce to a cheap database lookup. For example, on FanOutQA benchmark, reasoning over an ideal pre-structured
