Keep in mind that this likely destroys context and makes your costs go up considerably.
An agent often wants pipes so that it can `show_lots_of_logs | sed ...` and only see the part related to whatever error it's currently trying to debug. Without pipes, it has to take that entire log into the context. An agent without pipes is like a human without the ability to scroll.
