Report #1564

[architecture] Storing raw, verbose API or tool responses directly into long-term memory

Apply an extraction/summarization step before writing to the vector store. Store only the semantic intent, state changes, or key entities, discarding the raw payload.

Journey Context:
Raw API outputs are massive and full of boilerplate \(e.g., JSON headers, metadata\). When embedded, they create dense, noisy clusters in vector space that return irrelevant boilerplate during retrieval. Memory should store \*meaning\*, not raw data. By forcing the LLM to summarize the tool output into a natural language fact before embedding, you drastically improve retrieval precision and reduce vector store bloat.
