MongoDB
Code Mode Without the Interpreter: Agents That Write Aggregation Pipelines
Fixed-tool document agents suffer multiple round trips and context window bloat because each call returns raw data, and cross-document relationships require pulling all files into the context. The author’s solution lets the agent write a MongoDB aggregation pipeline instead of arbitrary code, avoiding the security risks of a code interpreter. A handler validates the pipeline, prepends a tenancy filter, and executes it server-side, returning only the reshaped result. The agent uses a two-pass approach, often computing booleans or concatenating fields with $addFields so comparisons happen in the database. Limitations include regex not being semantic search and $limit silently truncating results, but the bounded language of nine permitted stages improves both safety and accuracy.
