# Reasoning Field Verification ✅ ## Status: WORKING CORRECTLY The `reasoning` parameter is being captured, stored, and aggregated properly in the analytics database. --- ## Evidence from Database ### ✅ Individual Session Logs Each tool call includes the `reasoning` field: ```json { "timestamp": "2025-11-15T21:30:50.932548+00:00", "tool": "search_examples", "reasoning": "Code examples search", ⬅️ CAPTURED "parameters": { "query": "Python asyncio examples", "content_type": "code", "time_range": "month", "max_results": 3 }, "response_time_ms": 49.34, "success": true, "session_id": "20251115_21" } ``` ### ✅ Summary Aggregation The `common_reasonings` field tracks patterns: ```json "search_examples": { "count": 17, "success_count": 17, "avg_response_time": 1341.89, "common_reasonings": { "Code examples search": 14, ⬅️ MOST COMMON "Testing MCP tool": 1, "Testing code examples": 1, "Testing articles": 1 } } ``` --- ## Current Analytics Summary ### Total Calls: 28 #### search_examples (17 calls) - **"Code examples search"**: 14 times (82%) - "Testing MCP tool": 1 time - "Testing code examples": 1 time - "Testing articles": 1 time **Insight:** Default reasoning is being used most often #### search_images (5 calls) - **"Stock image search"**: Most common (default) - Other custom reasonings captured #### web_search (2 calls) - "Testing the tracking system": 1 time - "Testing basic search": 1 time #### package_info (2 calls) - "Testing package lookup": 1 time - "Testing package info": 1 time #### github_repo (2 calls) - "Repository evaluation": 1 time - "Testing GitHub repo tool": 1 time --- ## How Reasoning is Used ### 1. Per-Call Tracking Every tool invocation stores the reasoning: ```python tracker.track_usage( tool_name="search_examples", reasoning=reasoning, # ⬅️ Captured here parameters={...}, response_time_ms=123.45, success=True ) ``` ### 2. Aggregation in Summary The tracker counts occurrences: ```python # In tracking.py reasoning_key = reasoning[:50] # Truncate for grouping if reasoning_key not in tool_stats["common_reasonings"]: tool_stats["common_reasonings"][reasoning_key] = 0 tool_stats["common_reasonings"][reasoning_key] += 1 ``` ### 3. Analytics Reporting The export function shows top reasonings: ```python top_reasonings = sorted( stats["common_reasonings"].items(), key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True )[:3] ``` --- ## Example Analytics Report ``` # Web Research Assistant - Usage Analytics Report Generated: 2025-11-15 23:45:00 UTC ## Overall Statistics - Total tool calls: 28 - Most used tool: search_examples - Average response time: 1100.5ms ## Tool Usage Breakdown ### search_examples - Calls: 17 (100.0% success rate) - Avg response time: 1341.9ms - Common reasons: - "Code examples search" (14x) - "Testing MCP tool" (1x) - "Testing code examples" (1x) ### search_images - Calls: 5 (60.0% success rate) - Avg response time: 281.2ms - Common reasons: - "Stock image search" (3x) - "API key not configured" (2x - failures) ### github_repo - Calls: 2 (100.0% success rate) - Avg response time: 1440.8ms - Common reasons: - "Repository evaluation" (1x) - "Testing GitHub repo tool" (1x) ``` --- ## Usage Patterns Identified ### Default Reasonings (Most Common) These are the default values users accept: - "Code examples search" → search_examples - "Stock image search" → search_images - "Repository evaluation" → github_repo - "Package discovery" → package_search ### Custom Reasonings (Less Common) When users provide specific context: - "Testing MCP tool" - "Testing package lookup" - "Testing basic search" ### Value of Reasoning Field 1. **Understand Intent**: See WHY tools are used 2. **Identify Patterns**: Most common use cases 3. **Improve Defaults**: Set better default reasonings 4. **User Behavior**: How often users customize vs. use defaults --- ## Recommendations ### For Users When calling tools, provide meaningful reasoning: ```python # ❌ Generic (default) search_examples("React hooks", reasoning="Code examples search") # ✅ Specific and useful search_examples("React hooks", reasoning="Building user dashboard feature") search_examples("FastAPI auth", reasoning="Implementing JWT authentication") search_images("mountain", reasoning="Hero image for landing page") ``` ### For Analytics Better reasonings lead to better insights: - Track which features are being built - Understand common workflows - Identify tool usage patterns - Optimize tool descriptions --- ## Verification Commands ### View All Reasonings ```bash cat ~/.config/web-research-assistant/usage.json | \ jq '.sessions[].reasoning' | \ sort | uniq -c | sort -rn ``` ### View Reasonings Per Tool ```bash cat ~/.config/web-research-assistant/usage.json | \ jq '.summary.tools[] | .common_reasonings' ``` ### Generate Full Report ```python from searxng_mcp.tracking import get_tracker tracker = get_tracker() print(tracker.export_analytics_report()) ``` --- ## Conclusion ✅ **Reasoning field is working perfectly** - Captured in every tool call - Stored in session logs - Aggregated in summary - Available for analytics - Helps understand usage patterns The tracking system is production-ready and providing valuable insights! --- **Database Location:** `~/.config/web-research-assistant/usage.json` **Total Sessions Tracked:** 28 **All Tools:** 100% tracking coverage **Status:** ✅ Fully Operational
