Report #70946

[frontier] Agent losing context between sessions or using naive string memory causing token bloat

Implement MCP Resource servers \(not just Tool servers\) exposing CRUD endpoints for structured memory: use JSON schemas for episodic memory \(timestamped events\), semantic memory \(facts/knowledge graph\), and procedural memory \(learned skills\). Mount these as Resources in MCP config, not as prompt injection.

Journey Context:
MCP is hyped for tool-calling but its Resource primitive is underutilized. Teams try to shove memory into prompts \(RAG\) or context windows, hitting token limits. Treating memory as external state via MCP Resources allows agents to query only relevant memory slices \(via resource URIs\) and write updates transactionally. This mirrors OS virtual memory: agents think they have infinite context, but it's paged in via MCP.
