[architecture] Agent re-computing or re-fetching the same data across multiple steps

Adopt a 'memory-first' design: before executing an expensive tool call or LLM reasoning step, query the agent's long-term memory for previously computed answers or fetched data. Write all successful tool outputs back to memory immediately.

Journey Context:
Agents often act reactively, re-running expensive API calls or web searches for information they already processed in a previous turn or session. By treating memory as the primary data source \(memoization\), you drastically reduce latency and cost. The tradeoff is that the agent must spend a retrieval step before every action, adding a small constant latency to every turn, but it avoids massive variable latency from redundant tool calls.
