Agent Context
Tools that select, compact, transform, retrieve, or hand off the information supplied to an agent; it excludes long-term memory storage itself and model context-length limits at the hardware level.
Subfields
Context Compression
Deterministic or model-based systems that reduce tool output, logs, transcripts, files, or retrieved chunks before insertion into an agent prompt; it excludes token billing meters and general archive compression.
3 projectsContext Retrieval
Retrievers that choose relevant files, code, memories, or knowledge for the current agent turn; it excludes permanent memory ingestion and general web crawling without agent context selection.
