Report #84446

[architecture] Persisting raw, verbose tool outputs directly into memory

Summarize or extract only the action-relevant state from tool outputs before writing to memory; discard the raw payload.

Journey Context:
When an agent calls a tool \(e.g., a weather API, a database query\), the output is often highly verbose JSON or log text. Saving this raw output into the agent's memory quickly fills the vector store with redundant, low-signal boilerplate \(e.g., HTTP headers, status codes\). When retrieved later, this boilerplate wastes the context window and dilutes the semantic search signal. The agent must parse the tool output, extract the core semantic payload \(e.g., 'Temperature is 72F'\), and persist only that distilled fact.
