Context Hub

CI License: MIT

Local conversation archives and shared matters, with attributed multi-agent discussion and scoped retrieval.

English · 简体中文

If you work across multiple terminal AI agents (OpenAI Codex CLI, ZCode), each one keeps its own private session history and knows nothing about the others. Handing context over means copy-pasting summaries or re-explaining decisions. Context Hub fixes that locally:

  1. Read-only adapters archive both agents' session databases and JSONL logs into one versioned local store (SQLite indexes and segmented logs) — sources are never modified.

  2. Matters replace folder-based projects: one matter can span multiple directories, multiple sessions and multiple agents; sessions can belong to several matters.

  3. An MCP server exposes bounded tools so any connected agent can recover a matter by name, read paginated evidence, and write back attributed notes — disagreements between agents are preserved side by side, never auto-merged.

Archiving and indexing run locally, with no model calls or telemetry. The default MCP transport is stdio. An optional authenticated gateway binds only to loopback; remote access requires an explicitly configured HTTPS proxy.

Muse and future agents (0.6)

New agents can join shared matters through owner-managed profiles without a new archive adapter. Each gets a fixed author, explicit matter grants, revocable credentials and optional writeback. Discussions retain peer replies and differing opinions; durable request IDs make retries safe. See Agent enrollment. Muse's actual connection must be tested on your account; enrolling a profile does not mean Muse is connected, and does not automatically archive all Muse chats.

Key properties:

  • Versioned. Every captured content change becomes a new immutable revision; deleted source records stay in the archive.

  • Rewrite-tolerant ingestion. Log files are tracked with inode/size/mtime fingerprints and a SHA-256 prefix hash: truncation, rotation and rewrites are detected and re-read; incomplete trailing lines are deferred, never half-ingested. A same-size, same-mtime rewrite is caught by the daily re-verification pass.

  • Event identity ≠ content identity. Repeated identical messages stay distinct events (position/ordinal-based keys); content hashes decide revisions.

  • Transactional. Records and cursors commit together; a failed sync rolls back cleanly.

  • Untrusted by design. Archived conversation content is treated as data, not instructions; tool outputs are bounded and paginated.

Install

pip install git+https://github.com/Panwenzhuo0211/local-context-hub.git
# or: pipx install git+https://github.com/Panwenzhuo0211/local-context-hub.git

Python 3.11+ on macOS, Linux or Windows. No third-party dependencies.

Or run from source: ./hub <command>.

Quick start

context-hub init          # create the data directory and default config
context-hub sync          # archive both agents' current sessions (read-only)
context-hub projects      # list archived projects
context-hub context "my thesis revision"   # resolve a matter by natural language

Default data directory: ~/Library/Application Support/ContextHub (macOS), %LOCALAPPDATA%\ContextHub (Windows), $XDG_DATA_HOME/context-hub (Linux). Override with CONTEXT_HUB_DATA_DIR.

Connect an agent (MCP)

Codex CLI (~/.codex/config.toml):

[mcp_servers.context-hub]
command = "python3"            # or the absolute python you use
args = ["/path/to/context-hub/mcp-entry.py", "--client", "codex"]
startup_timeout_sec = 15
tool_timeout_sec = 60

ZCode (~/.zcode/cli/config.json): add under mcp.servers:

"context-hub": {"type": "stdio", "command": "python3",
                "args": ["/path/to/context-hub/mcp-entry.py", "--client", "zcode"],
                "timeoutMs": 60000}

Or run the guided installer, which backs up and patches both client configs (reversibly) and skips clients it cannot find — one client alone is fine:

context-hub-integrate --dry-run    # show what would change
context-hub-integrate              # install (add --no-rules to skip AGENTS.md rules)
context-hub-integrate --uninstall  # fully remove; archives are preserved

On macOS the installer also registers a launchd service (dev.local.context-hub) that re-archives every ~180 s. On Linux/Windows, schedule the same job yourself:

# cron example (Linux): every 3 minutes
*/3 * * * * python3 -m context_hub.background

Matter mapping (optional)

Archived sessions also retain legacy project groups by working directory. These commands change that grouping; shared many-to-many matters use the owner MCP create_matter and link_context tools instead:

context-hub map --project "my thesis revision" --root ~/Documents/thesis
context-hub map --project "my thesis revision" --session codex:<session-id>

MCP tools

Tool

Purpose

continue_matter

Resolve a matter by natural language; return its full context

list_matters

List matter names

search_context

Full-text search over archived conversations (optionally scoped)

read_record

Page through one archived record by evidence ID

read_notes

Paginated history of all notes/opinions/tasks for a matter

discussion

Attributed contributions and reply references with stable pagination

remember

Write an attributed note (memory/decision/task/opinion) with evidence IDs

create_matter

Create a matter the user explicitly asked for

link_context

Link/reject directory, session, record or project associations

relate_matters

Relate two matters without merging their materials

register_memory_source

Attach a local Markdown memory file to a matter

context_status

Last background run status and errors

refresh_context

Ask the background worker to run now

handoff_session

Continue one specific archived session across agents — returns its todos, title and recent messages

prepare_resume

Export an archived ZCode session as a native Codex session file; returns a ready-to-run codex resume command

Notes default to proposed; they are never silently promoted to accepted decisions, and a task reopened after done keeps its full history.

Privacy and security posture

  • Archiving has no model calls or telemetry. Default MCP uses stdio; optional file transport stays local. Optional authenticated HTTP binds to loopback; remote reachability requires explicit HTTPS setup.

  • Archive adapters open sources read-only (mode=ro + query_only). Session resume creates a new Hub-owned mirror while protecting existing sessions. Overlapping or cloud-backed archive data directories are refused.

  • Files and directories it creates are 0600/0700 on POSIX.

  • Conversation content is not encrypted at rest, and there is no secret redaction yet — anything an agent typed into a session is archived verbatim on your disk. Treat the data directory as sensitive; do not point sources at machines you do not own.

  • Content returned to an agent enters that model's processing pipeline; local storage is not a guarantee of offline model processing.

  • The ChatGPT bridge (official Secure MCP Tunnel) is experimental and scoped to an explicit matter allowlist — see CHATGPT-SETUP.md.

Known limitations

  • Retrieval is lexical (FTS5 with CJK bigrams), not semantic; add aliases for synonyms.

  • Automatic title-based association can misfire; it is marked auto, gives a reason, and can be rejected (link_context status="rejected"), after which it is never re-applied.

  • Indexed text is capped at 200,000 characters per record (full text stays readable via read_record).

  • Forensic raw payloads above 256 KiB may retain a hash and prefix rather than every byte. Main conversation text is stored separately; full attachment/forensic raw preservation is not guaranteed. New agent enrollment is not full chat capture.

  • No atomic snapshot across multiple source databases; content that never hit disk (e.g. unsent drafts) is out of scope.

  • For JSONL logs without ordinal fields, identity falls back to byte offsets: inserting bytes at the front re-keys events (old revisions are preserved, stale index keys can linger). Current Codex logs always carry ordinals. See docs/VERIFICATION.md for the counter-example suite that documents these behaviors.

TDQS

A3.5/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

The annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the description does not need to reassert safety. It adds some value by specifying the reported content (success state, time, error messages), but it does not explain the scope of 'recent', whether it applies to a single matter or globally, or what the response looks like beyond these fields.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

It is a single tight sentence with the resource front-loaded and no filler. Every element, status, time, and errors, carries information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

This is a zero-parameter, read-only status check with no output schema, so the description must convey return content, and it does so by listing the three reported fields. The remaining gaps are minor, such as the time window of 'recent' and scope breadth.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool has no parameters, which sets the baseline at 4; there is nothing for the description to disambiguate or compensate for.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a specific resource (最近自动归档, the most recent automatic archiving) plus the exact attributes reported: success, timestamp, and errors. That distinguishes it from siblings like refresh_context or search_context, though it does not explicitly name an alternative.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description conveys what it returns but gives no guidance on when an agent should call it versus other context tools, no prerequisites, and no exclusions. The usage context, such as debugging or verifying archival health, is left entirely implicit.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

A4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Beyond the readOnlyHint/destructiveHint=false annotations, it discloses real behavior: lookup is by name/alias, it spans directories and AI contexts, it returns candidate options on ambiguity, and it does not demand a path from the user. These are non-obvious traits an agent could not infer from annotations or schema.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two compact sentences with the trigger condition front-loaded and the resolution behavior second. No filler, nothing repeated from the schema or annotations.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a read-only, single-parameter tool with no output schema, the description covers trigger, lookup key, scope, and ambiguity handling adequately. It stops short of describing what a successful match returns (matter body vs. reference), which would round it out.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0% and the single 'query' param has no description, so the description must compensate. It does partially by saying the key is a name or alias, but it leaves matching semantics (exact vs. fuzzy vs. natural-language phrase) unstated.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Specific verb+resource: reads a 'matter' by name/alias, scoped as cross-directory and cross-AI-context. This clearly distinguishes it from list_matters (enumerate all) and create_matter, though it never names those siblings explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Gives a concrete trigger: 'when the user says continue/advance a matter, call this first.' That is a clear activation condition an agent can act on. However, it offers no explicit exclusions or 'use X instead' routing against siblings like list_matters or search_context.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

B3/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false, destructiveHint=false, openWorldHint=false, so the mutation profile is known. The description adds nothing beyond that: no mention of what is created, whether duplicate names are rejected or matched to an existing matter, whether the call is idempotent, or what identity is returned.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences with the positive trigger front-loaded and the negative constraint second; nothing is padded. The brevity is genuine conciseness, though it comes at the cost of coverage elsewhere.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a create/mutation tool with four undocumented parameters and no output schema, the description should at minimum explain the field set and duplicate-handling behavior. Given the sibling set includes relate_matters, link_context, and list_matters, an agent also needs to know this tool creates the container rather than attaching content — it must infer that.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema has 0% description coverage across four parameters (name, aliases, keywords, description), and the description mentions none of them — not even the required 'name'. It therefore contributes no meaning beyond the bare schema, leaving aliases/keywords semantics (e.g., are they search keys?) entirely undefined.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description says to create something when the user explicitly proposes a new matter, which combined with the tool name makes the verb+resource unambiguous. It implicitly separates itself from merging/linking siblings (relate_matters) by warning against combining matters, but never names a sibling explicitly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

It gives a clear trigger condition — only when the user explicitly raises a new matter — plus an exclusion: don't guess on the user's behalf and merge two matters. What's missing is routing to the actual alternative for merging/linking (relate_matters, link_context).

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

C2.9/5.0
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description contributes nothing further: no mention of scope, ordering, whether results are names only or full matter records, or any pagination/limit behavior beyond the safety hints already given.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single short sentence with no waste and the operation front-loaded. It is efficiently sized for a zero-parameter list tool, though its brevity leaves ambiguity rather than adding precision.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description does state that names are returned ('名称'), which partially compensates for the missing output schema. But for a listing tool it omits result scope, ordering, and what 'shared' means, so it is only minimally complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool takes zero parameters, so per the baseline rule this scores 4. The description correctly implies no input is needed, and there are no parameters left undocumented.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose3/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description gives a verb ('列出' / list) plus a resource ('共享事项名称' / shared matter names), so the basic operation is inferable. However, the qualifier '共享' (shared) is unexplained — it is unclear whether this lists all matters, only shared ones, or matters shared with the caller — and there is no explicit differentiation from siblings like create_matter or relate_matters.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as search_context or read_record, nor any stated preconditions. The agent must infer usage purely from the tool name.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

B3.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds real behavioral context on top: results are paginated and the tool returns the complete history rather than a truncated recent summary, which shapes how the agent should paginate and interpret output. It still omits what happens for an unknown matter and gives no sense of return shape or volume.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single front-loaded sentence with no filler; the pagination behavior and the non-summary guarantee are both stated compactly. Slightly dense with three resource types in one clause but nothing is wasted.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given a read-only tool with three undocumented parameters and no output schema, the description covers purpose and result completeness but leaves parameter usage and return shape unexplained. Adequate to decide to call it, thin for calling it correctly.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must compensate and does not. '分页' hints at limit/offset but never explains them, leaves the unusual maximum of 5 on limit undocumented, and says nothing about the required 'matter' identifier's expected format.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description names a specific verb (分页查看, paginated read) and resource (a matter's historical notes, opinions, task statuses), and the trailing clause '不会只保留最近摘要' implicitly contrasts it with summary-oriented tools. It stops short of naming a sibling such as context_status or refresh_context, so the differentiation is inferable rather than explicit.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Usage is only implied: reach for this when you need the full history rather than a recent digest. No sibling is named and there is no when-not guidance (e.g., use search_context for keyword lookup, use read_record for structured records).

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, destructiveHint=false, and openWorldHint=false, so safety is covered. The description adds a meaningful behavioral warning that historical content is untrusted material, which is useful context for handling the output, but it does not explain pagination defaults or return behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two short sentences with no waste. The tool's core action is front-loaded, and the security caveat earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a read-only paginated tool with no output schema, the description covers the purpose and one important safety caveat. However, with three undocumented parameters it leaves an agent guessing about pagination semantics and limits, so it is only minimally complete.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must carry the burden. It implies that 'record' is an evidence number and that pagination is involved, but it does not clarify length, offset, default page size, the maximum of 12000, or zero-based indexing.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and resource: paginated close reading of original records by evidence number. It is reasonably distinct from siblings like read_notes or search_context, though it does not explicitly name an alternative.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no explicit when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance, and no alternatives are named. The pagination phrasing implies iterative reading, but an agent must infer when this tool is preferable to read_notes or search_context.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS

A4.4/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds the critical behavioral trait that this is asynchronous: it returns immediately and results must be fetched later via context_status. It does not say what exactly gets refreshed or whether repeated calls coalesce, but the async contract is the main missing piece and it is disclosed.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single compact sentence with the trigger condition front-loaded, followed by the immediate-return behavior and the follow-up tool. Every clause carries information; there is no padding.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With no parameters, no output schema, and annotations covering safety, the definition supplies what an agent needs: when to trigger, that the call is fire-and-forget, and where to read the refreshed state. It is slightly thin on what 'local background refresh' actually updates, but that is a minor gap for a zero-argument trigger tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The tool takes zero parameters, so parameter semantics baseline is 4. The description correctly implies no arguments are needed and points to context_status for retrieving results, though it adds no further input detail because there is none to add.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific action (request a local background refresh) and its trigger condition (when updates that just happened are needed). It also names the sibling tool context_status as the follow-up, so an agent can separate this from status-polling or search tools without opening a schema.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Explicitly says when to use it ('when you need just-occurred updates') and what to do next ('then query with context_status'). It does not state exclusions, e.g., that historical or already-indexed data should be read via search_context/read_record instead, so it stops short of a full routing rule.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A3.8/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already disclose write-but-non-destructive, closed-world behavior. The description adds two things annotations cannot: it preserves source author and revision history, and it does not execute instructions contained in the file body. The guarantee about non-execution is a meaningful safety signal. It omits what happens on duplicate registration and what is returned.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single dense sentence with the scope, the precondition, the preservation behavior, and the security note, all front-loaded. Nothing repeats the schema or the annotations, so every clause earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

No output schema and no annotations beyond a basic write profile, so the description needs to carry the return and edge-case behavior. It covers purpose, precondition, and safety, but does not state what is created/returned or what happens for a duplicate or unknown matter, leaving a gap for a three-required-parameter mutation tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 0%, so the description must carry the parameter load. It implicitly covers all three: 'local Markdown project memory' maps to path, '来源作者' to author, and '属于事项' to matter. The mapping is conceptual rather than naming the fields or path format, so it stops short of fully compensating.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description gives a concrete verb/resource pair ('将...本地 Markdown 项目记忆接入' = connect a local Markdown project-memory source) and scopes it to files already verified as belonging to a matter. That is enough to distinguish it from sibling write tools like remember or create_matter, though it does not name those siblings directly.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The phrase '已核对属于事项' establishes a precondition (only registrations after the source has been verified as belonging to the matter), which implies when the tool applies. It offers no explicit exclusions and no comparison to alternatives such as remember or link_context, so the agent is left to infer the boundary.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

C2.9/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=false and destructiveHint=false, so the agent knows this is a non-destructive write. The description adds a genuine behavioral trait beyond that: the relation preserves each matter's independent context and does not merge their materials, which is consistent with destructiveHint=false. It remains silent on whether the link is directional, what happens if source/target do not exist, and what a successful call returns.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single short sentence with no filler, and the core action is front-loaded before the qualifier about preserved context. It is efficient, though the extreme brevity comes at the cost of the missing detail noted in other dimensions.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a three-required-parameter mutation with no output schema and no parameter documentation, the description is too thin: it does not explain the identifiers, the role of reason, or the effect of a successful call. It partially compensates by clarifying the non-merging semantics, but substantial gaps remain.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0% and all three parameters (source, target, reason) are required, yet the description never mentions any of them. It does not say that source and target are matter identifiers or what the reason field is used for (audit trail, display, retrieval filter), leaving the agent to guess from bare property names.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states a specific verb+resource: saving an association between two matters ('保存两个事项的关联'), which is clearly a linking operation rather than a create/read/search operation. It does not, however, distinguish itself from the sibling 'link_context', which plausibly overlaps, so the sibling differentiation that would earn a 5 is absent.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The phrase '保留独立背景,不合并全部资料' hints at when this tool is preferable to merging, but it never names an alternative tool or gives an explicit when/when-not condition. An agent must infer the selection criteria entirely from the concept of 'not merging'.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

注解已表明这是一次非破坏性写入,因此基线较低。描述增加了真正有价值的行为信息:它会保留作者、证据和历史,并且同一作者、同一主题的任务会取代先前状态。但未说明对 memory、decision 和 opinion 的去重或冲突行为,而这些类型没有所述的替换规则。

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

两个紧凑的分句,先说明用途,再说明覆盖规则。没有填充内容,尽管这种压缩导致了未解释参数的出现。

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

共有六个参数,其中 4 个必填,schema 描述覆盖率为 0%,且没有输出 schema。matter 和 body 参数,以及保留操作返回什么(记录 ID?),都未被解释,因此 agent 无法安全地调用或串联使用。

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

schema 描述覆盖率为 0%,因此描述必须承担全部解释工作。它间接解释了 kind(结论、任务、观点)、topic(同一主题)、evidence(被保留)和 status(任务状态替换),但完全未说明 matter 和 body,也未说明 evidence 是指向其他记录 ID 还是其他内容。

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

使用具体动词(保存)和明确的资源类型(结论、任务、独立观点),与 kind 枚举相呼应。表述清晰,但未提及任何同级工具(如 create_matter、register_memory_source),因此 agent 仍需自行推断它应使用哪个工具。

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

“保存新……”暗示了创建用法,任务替换规则指明了更新场景,但未说明何时改用 create_matter、continue_matter 或 register_memory_source,也未给出前置条件或排除情形。

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

B3.3/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, so safety is covered structurally. The description adds a genuinely useful behavioral caveat: '候选结果不是已确认事实' warns that results are unconfirmed candidates and must not be treated as ground truth — meaningful context beyond the annotations. It omits return format/pagination, but that is a minor gap given the annotation coverage.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two terse sentences with the core resource and the most important caveat front-loaded; nothing is wasted. It is efficient, though the extreme brevity contributes to underspecification of parameters.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With 3 parameters, no output schema, and 0% schema description coverage, the description is too sparse to fully equip the agent — query/limit semantics and result shape are unaddressed. The result-reliability caveat is valuable but not enough to cover the gaps.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 0%, so the description must carry parameter meaning, but it only alludes to the `matter` filter ('可限定事项'). The `query` and `limit` parameters get no explanation of syntax, matching behavior, or default/range semantics anywhere.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb (检索/search) and resource (历史对话/historical conversations), so the agent knows this is a search over past dialogue. It distinguishes itself reasonably from read_record/read_notes by being a search rather than a direct read, though it doesn't explicitly name alternatives.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The phrase '可限定事项' hints that results can be narrowed to a matter, and the caveat about candidate results implies a discovery use case. However, there is no explicit when-to-use vs when-not-to-use guidance and no named sibling alternative, leaving selection largely inferred.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

A3.5/5.0

Scored across 12 tools

Disambiguation4/5

Most tools target distinct actions: create/list matters, read/search context, save notes, register sources, and refresh status. However, link_context and relate_matters both create associations, and continue_matter/search_context/read_notes/read_record overlap conceptually around retrieval, requiring careful description reading.

Naming Consistency4/5

Names are predominantly snake_case with a verb_noun pattern such as continue_matter, list_matters, create_matter, and search_context. Minor deviations are remember (verb-only) and context_status (noun phrase), which are still clear but break the convention.

Tool Count5/5

The server has 12 tools, squarely within a reasonable range, and each maps to a distinct part of the context/memory lifecycle. No obvious padding or missing essential utility.

Completeness3/5

The set covers creation, listing, reading, searching, association, source registration, and refresh/status. It lacks delete/unlink/update operations for matters and associations, and note retraction/editing is not explicitly available, which are notable lifecycle gaps.
