get_insights

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:176-217 (handler)

  Core handler function implementing the get_insights tool logic: prunes, aggregates, filters, sorts insights by significance and recency, marks as used, and returns top results.

  async getInsights(thoughtType?: string, limit: number = 10): Promise<Insight[]> {
    // First, clean up old/low-value insights
    this.pruneInsights();
    
    // Aggregate similar insights
    this.aggregateSimilarInsights();
    
    // Filter unused insights above threshold
    let filtered = this.insights.filter(i => 
      !i.used && i.significance >= this.significanceThreshold
    );
    
    if (thoughtType) {
      filtered = filtered.filter(i => i.thought_type === thoughtType);
    }
    
    // Sort by significance and recency
    filtered.sort((a, b) => {
      // Prioritize aggregated insights
      if (a.similar_count && b.similar_count) {
        const countDiff = (b.similar_count || 1) - (a.similar_count || 1);
        if (countDiff !== 0) return countDiff;
      }
      
      if (b.significance !== a.significance) {
        return b.significance - a.significance;
      }
      return new Date(b.timestamp).getTime() - new Date(a.timestamp).getTime();
    });
  
    // Mark as used and clean from memory
    const results = filtered.slice(0, limit);
    results.forEach(insight => {
      insight.used = true;
      // Remove high-frequency patterns after use to prevent repetition
      if (insight.similar_count && insight.similar_count > 3) {
        this.removeInsight(insight.id);
      }
    });
  
    return results;
  }

• src/index.ts:412-431 (schema)

  Input schema for the get_insights tool, defining parameters thought_type, limit, and min_significance with validation.

  inputSchema: {
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
      thought_type: {
        type: 'string',
        enum: ['pattern', 'connection', 'question', 'general'],
        description: 'Filter by thought type'
      },
      limit: {
        type: 'number',
        description: 'Maximum insights to return (default 10)'
      },
      min_significance: {
        type: 'number',
        description: 'Minimum significance score 1-10 (default 5)',
        minimum: 1,
        maximum: 10
      }
    },
  },

• src/index.ts:409-432 (registration)

  Registration of the get_insights tool in the ListTools response, including name, description, and input schema.

  {
    name: 'get_insights',
    description: 'Retrieve processed insights from contemplation',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        thought_type: {
          type: 'string',
          enum: ['pattern', 'connection', 'question', 'general'],
          description: 'Filter by thought type'
        },
        limit: {
          type: 'number',
          description: 'Maximum insights to return (default 10)'
        },
        min_significance: {
          type: 'number',
          description: 'Minimum significance score 1-10 (default 5)',
          minimum: 1,
          maximum: 10
        }
      },
    },
  },

• src/index.ts:518-533 (registration)

  Dispatch handler in CallToolRequest that processes get_insights calls, sets threshold if provided, invokes the handler, and formats response.

  case 'get_insights': {
    const { thought_type, limit, min_significance } = args as {
      thought_type?: string;
      limit?: number;
      min_significance?: number;
    };
    
    if (min_significance) {
      contemplation.setThreshold(min_significance);
    }
    
    const insights = await contemplation.getInsights(thought_type, limit);
    return {
      content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(insights, null, 2) }],
    };
  }

• src/index.ts:88-97 (schema)

  Type schema for Insight objects, which are the output structure of the get_insights tool.

  interface Insight {
    id: string;
    thought_type: string;
    content: string;
    significance: number;
    timestamp: string;
    used: boolean;
    similar_count?: number;
    aggregated_ids?: string[];
  }
