ODW #7: Cut Token Usage by 40% with Three Methods! Context Engineering with ADK

LY Corporation showcased an ADK-based context engineering workshop for AI agents at its Orchestration Development Workshop.

As internal AI usage grew, token costs and accuracy issues increased; the workshop focused on sending only the most relevant information to agents.

Using structured data, AgentTool, and MCP Toolset features, the approach reduced token consumption by about 40% in practice.

The piece highlights a practical way to manage context systematically and improve both cost efficiency and agent performance.
