Report #66087

[architecture] Agent stores every single interaction or tool output, leading to noisy retrieval and high storage costs

Implement memory consolidation. Do not store raw tool outputs or conversational back-and-forth directly into long-term memory. Use an LLM to extract only insights or state-changing events from the working memory before persisting.

Journey Context:
Agents that log every message or API response quickly fill the vector database with low-value, repetitive data \(e.g., 'File read successfully', 'Thinking...'\). This increases retrieval latency and decreases signal-to-noise ratio, as the retriever pulls in useless raw logs instead of actual facts. Consolidation acts as a compression and filtering step, ensuring long-term memory is high-signal.
