Grep beats LSP? Why coding agents ignore your fancier tools
kaonashi-tyc-01 · hn · 2026-09-04
An engineering analysis from AgentConnect explores the counterintuitive reality that coding agents often favor simple text search (grep) over semantically precise LSP integrations. The piece examines why—reliability, latency, and context costs of LSP in agent harnesses—and what this means for designing agent tool interfaces.
