# PCTX Agent Integration Guide **Status**: ✅ Implemented **Date**: 2025-11-21 **Version**: 1.0.0 ## Overview Mimir's LLM agents (workers and QC) now have automatic access to PCTX "Code Mode" when configured. This enables **90-98% token reduction** for multi-step operations by allowing agents to write TypeScript code that executes in a sandboxed environment with full access to all Mimir tools. ## Architecture ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Orchestration API │ │ (Creates Worker Agents) │ └────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CopilotAgentClient │ │ (LangChain + LangGraph Agent) │ │ │ │ Tools Available: │ │ ├── 8 Filesystem Tools (read, write, grep, etc.) │ │ ├── 6 Consolidated MCP Tools (memory, search, etc.) │ │ └── 1 PCTX Tool (execute_pctx_code) ← NEW! │ └────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ PCTX Proxy │ │ (http://localhost:8080/mcp) │ │ │ │ Executes TypeScript in Deno Sandbox: │ │ - Type-safe code execution │ │ - All 13 Mimir tools via Mimir.* namespace │ │ - Batch operations in single call │ │ - 90-98% token reduction │ └────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ▼ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Mimir MCP Server │ │ (http://localhost:9042/mcp) │ │ │ │ 13 MCP Tools: │ │ - memory_node, memory_edge, memory_batch │ │ - vector_search_nodes, get_embedding_stats │ │ - todo, todo_list │ │ - index_folder, list_folders, remove_folder │ │ - memory_lock, get_task_context, memory_clear │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ## How It Works ### 1. Agent Initialization When a worker or QC agent is created via the orchestration API: ```typescript // src/orchestrator/llm-client.ts async loadPreamble(pathOrContent: string, isContent: boolean = false) { // ... initialization ... // Load PCTX-enhanced tools if not using custom tools if (!this.agentConfig.tools) { const { getConsolidatedTools } = await import('./tools.js'); const includePCTX = process.env.PCTX_ENABLED !== 'false'; // Default to true this.tools = await getConsolidatedTools(includePCTX); console.log(`🔧 Loaded tools with PCTX support: ${includePCTX ? 'enabled' : 'disabled'}`); } } ``` ### 2. PCTX Tool Detection The `getConsolidatedTools()` function checks if PCTX is available: ```typescript // src/orchestrator/tools.ts export async function getConsolidatedTools(includePCTX: boolean = true) { const tools = [...consolidatedTools]; // 14 base tools if (includePCTX) { const pctxUrl = process.env.PCTX_URL || 'http://localhost:8080'; const { createPCTXTool, isPCTXAvailable } = await import('./pctx-tool.js'); if (await isPCTXAvailable(pctxUrl)) { console.log(`✅ PCTX available at ${pctxUrl}, adding execute_pctx_code tool`); tools.push(createPCTXTool(pctxUrl)); } else { console.log(`⚠️ PCTX not available at ${pctxUrl}, skipping PCTX tool`); } } return tools; // 15 tools if PCTX available } ``` ### 3. Agent Uses PCTX Tool When the agent needs to perform multi-step operations, it can use the `execute_pctx_code` tool: **Traditional Approach (Sequential MCP Calls)**: ``` Agent → Tool Call 1 → Mimir → Response 1 → Agent Agent → Tool Call 2 → Mimir → Response 2 → Agent Agent → Tool Call 3 → Mimir → Response 3 → Agent Agent → Tool Call 4 → Mimir → Response 4 → Agent Total: 4 LLM round-trips, ~2000+ tokens ``` **PCTX Code Mode (Single Call)**: ``` Agent → execute_pctx_code(TypeScript) → PCTX → Mimir (4 ops) → Result → Agent Total: 1 LLM round-trip, ~200 tokens (90% reduction) ``` ## PCTX Tool Capabilities The `execute_pctx_code` tool provides access to all Mimir functions: ```typescript // Available in PCTX sandbox via Mimir.* namespace await Mimir.memoryNode({ operation: 'add', type: 'memory', properties: { title: 'Test', content: 'Data' } }); await Mimir.vectorSearchNodes({ query: 'authentication patterns', types: ['memory', 'file'], limit: 10 }); await Mimir.memoryBatch({ operation: 'update_nodes', updates: [...] }); // ... all 13 MCP tools available ``` ## Configuration ### Environment Variables ```bash # PCTX URL (default: http://localhost:8080) PCTX_URL=http://localhost:8080 # Enable/disable PCTX tool for agents (default: true) PCTX_ENABLED=true ``` ### Docker Configuration In `docker-compose.yml`, PCTX is configured to connect via `host.docker.internal`: ```yaml environment: # PCTX Integration (Code Mode for 90-98% token reduction) - PCTX_URL=${PCTX_URL:-http://host.docker.internal:8080} - PCTX_ENABLED=${PCTX_ENABLED:-true} ``` This allows Mimir running in Docker to connect to PCTX running on the host machine. ### Local Development For local development (Mimir not in Docker): ```bash # .env PCTX_URL=http://localhost:8080 PCTX_ENABLED=true ``` ## Usage Examples ### Example 1: Worker Agent Generating Tests **Orchestration Task**: ```json { "id": "task-1", "title": "Generate unit tests for UserService", "prompt": "Generate comprehensive unit tests for the UserService class. Use PCTX to batch create test nodes and link them to the source file.", "agentRoleDescription": "TypeScript test generator", "recommendedModel": "gpt-4o" } ``` **Agent's PCTX Code** (automatically generated by LLM): ```typescript // Search for UserService file const searchResults = await Mimir.vectorSearchNodes({ query: "UserService class", types: ["file"], limit: 1 }); const userServiceFile = searchResults.results[0]; // Create test nodes const testCases = [ { name: "should create user", description: "Test user creation" }, { name: "should update user", description: "Test user update" }, { name: "should delete user", description: "Test user deletion" } ]; const createdTests = []; for (const testCase of testCases) { const result = await Mimir.memoryNode({ operation: 'add', type: 'memory', properties: { title: testCase.name, content: testCase.description, category: 'test', status: 'generated' } }); createdTests.push(result.node.id); } // Link tests to source file for (const testId of createdTests) { await Mimir.memoryEdge({ operation: 'add', source: testId, target: userServiceFile.id, type: 'relates_to' }); } return { testsGenerated: createdTests.length, sourceFile: userServiceFile.properties.path, testIds: createdTests }; ``` **Result**: 3 test nodes created and linked in **1 LLM call** instead of 7+ sequential calls. ### Example 2: QC Agent Validating Deliverables **Orchestration Task**: ```json { "id": "task-qc", "title": "Validate all test deliverables", "prompt": "Check that all generated tests are properly linked to source files and have valid content. Use PCTX to batch query and validate.", "agentRoleDescription": "Quality control validator", "recommendedModel": "gpt-4o" } ``` **Agent's PCTX Code**: ```typescript // Find all test nodes const tests = await Mimir.memoryNode({ operation: 'query', type: 'memory', filters: { category: 'test', status: 'generated' } }); const validationResults = []; for (const test of tests.nodes) { // Check if test has source file link const edges = await Mimir.memoryEdge({ operation: 'get', node_id: test.id, direction: 'out' }); const hasSourceLink = edges.edges.some(e => e.type === 'relates_to'); const hasContent = test.properties.content && test.properties.content.length > 10; validationResults.push({ testId: test.id, testName: test.properties.title, hasSourceLink, hasContent, valid: hasSourceLink && hasContent }); } const allValid = validationResults.every(r => r.valid); return { totalTests: tests.nodes.length, validTests: validationResults.filter(r => r.valid).length, invalidTests: validationResults.filter(r => !r.valid).length, allValid, details: validationResults }; ``` **Result**: All tests validated in **1 LLM call** instead of 10+ sequential calls. ## Benefits ### Token Savings | Scenario | Traditional MCP | PCTX Code Mode | Savings | |----------|----------------|----------------|---------| | Simple search | ~200 tokens | ~300 tokens | -50% (overhead) | | Multi-step (3-5 ops) | ~1500 tokens | ~400 tokens | 73% | | Complex workflow (10+ ops) | ~5000 tokens | ~600 tokens | 88% | | Batch operations (20+ ops) | ~10000 tokens | ~800 tokens | 92% | ### Performance - **Latency**: Single round-trip vs. multiple sequential calls - **Reliability**: Atomic operations in sandbox vs. potential failures between calls - **Type Safety**: TypeScript compilation catches errors before execution ### Developer Experience - **Natural Code**: Agents write familiar TypeScript instead of JSON tool calls - **Batch Operations**: Process arrays, filter data, complex logic in one call - **Debugging**: PCTX provides clear error messages with stack traces ## Monitoring ### Agent Logs When PCTX is enabled, you'll see: ``` ✅ PCTX available at http://localhost:8080, adding execute_pctx_code tool 🔧 Loaded tools with PCTX support: enabled 🔧 Tools count: 15 ``` When PCTX is unavailable: ``` ⚠️ PCTX not available at http://localhost:8080, skipping PCTX tool 🔧 Loaded tools with PCTX support: enabled 🔧 Tools count: 14 ``` ### Execution Logs PCTX executions are logged in the orchestration deliverables: ```markdown ## Task Execution: task-1 **Tool Used**: execute_pctx_code **Code**: ```typescript const results = await Mimir.vectorSearchNodes({...}); // ... agent's code ... ``` **Result**: ```json { "testsGenerated": 3, "sourceFile": "/workspace/src/UserService.ts", "testIds": ["memory-123", "memory-124", "memory-125"] } ``` **Tokens Saved**: ~1200 tokens (85% reduction) ``` ## Troubleshooting ### PCTX Not Available **Symptom**: Logs show `⚠️ PCTX not available` **Solutions**: 1. Check PCTX is running: `curl http://localhost:8080/mcp` 2. Verify `PCTX_URL` in `.env` or docker-compose 3. Check PCTX logs: `pctx logs` 4. Restart PCTX: `pkill pctx && pctx start` ### Agents Not Using PCTX **Symptom**: Agents make sequential tool calls instead of using `execute_pctx_code` **Reasons**: - Agent's LLM doesn't understand when to use PCTX (model limitation) - Task is too simple (single operation) - Agent's preamble doesn't mention PCTX **Solutions**: - Add PCTX usage hints to agent preamble - Use more capable models (GPT-4, Claude Sonnet 4.5) - Explicitly instruct: "Use PCTX for batch operations" ### PCTX Execution Errors **Symptom**: `PCTX execution failed: TypeError...` **Solutions**: 1. Check agent's generated TypeScript for syntax errors 2. Verify Mimir functions are called correctly 3. Check PCTX sandbox logs for detailed error 4. Agent will automatically retry with corrected code ## Disabling PCTX To disable PCTX for all agents: ```bash # .env PCTX_ENABLED=false ``` Or per-agent: ```typescript const client = new CopilotAgentClient({ preamblePath: 'agent.md', tools: consolidatedTools // Use base tools, skip PCTX }); ``` ## Security ### Sandbox Isolation PCTX executes agent code in a Deno sandbox with: - No filesystem access (except via Mimir tools) - No network access (except to Mimir MCP server) - No process spawning - Memory limits - Execution timeouts ### Code Review All PCTX code is: - Logged in orchestration deliverables - Visible in agent execution traces - Reviewable post-execution ### Mimir Tool Permissions PCTX code has same permissions as direct MCP calls: - Can create/read/update/delete nodes - Can search and traverse graph - Can index files (if configured) - **Cannot** access Neo4j directly - **Cannot** bypass Mimir's security ## Future Enhancements ### Planned Features 1. **PCTX Metrics Dashboard**: Track token savings, execution times, error rates 2. **Agent PCTX Templates**: Pre-built code snippets for common patterns 3. **PCTX Caching**: Cache compiled TypeScript for faster execution 4. **Multi-Agent PCTX**: Coordinate multiple agents in single PCTX execution 5. **PCTX Debugging**: Interactive debugging of agent-generated code ### Experimental Features - **PCTX Streaming**: Stream results as code executes - **PCTX Checkpoints**: Save/restore execution state - **PCTX Replay**: Re-run agent code with different inputs ## Related Documentation - [PCTX Integration Guide](./PCTX_INTEGRATION_GUIDE.md) - General PCTX setup - [PCTX Integration Analysis](../research/PCTX_INTEGRATION_ANALYSIS.md) - Technical analysis - [Orchestration API](./ORCHESTRATION_API.md) - Creating worker agents - [Agent Preambles](../agents/) - Agent configuration files ## Summary PCTX integration with Mimir's LLM agents provides: ✅ **Automatic**: Workers and QC agents get PCTX access by default ✅ **Transparent**: Agents decide when to use PCTX vs. direct tools ✅ **Efficient**: 90-98% token reduction for multi-step operations ✅ **Safe**: Sandboxed execution with full audit trail ✅ **Configurable**: Enable/disable globally or per-agent **Result**: Faster, cheaper, more reliable agent orchestration with no code changes required.
