Closes #888.

Slot tools dispatched to mem::slot-* functions that are only registered when AGENTMEMORY_SLOTS is enabled, so disabled installs got an opaque Internal error instead of guidance. The MCP dispatch now returns the same structured error/flag/enableHow body the REST endpoints already use, and tools/list stops advertising slot tools while the flag is off, so clients no longer see tools that fail by construction.

Also in this change: the dispatch catch-all now includes the underlying error message; memory_save accepts array-typed concepts and files (was string-only split, arrays silently became empty); the standalone shim plumbs the project parameter through validation, the proxied remember body, and the local fallback record; memory_sessions takes a limit (default 20, max 100) and returns the most recent sessions sorted by startedAt descending instead of the full unbounded list.

Tested by test/mcp-tools-call.test.ts plus new cases in the surface default and standalone proxy suites.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added lesson deletion through the memory tools.

  • Improvements

    • Slot-related tools are hidden when slots are disabled.
    • MCP connections negotiate a compatible protocol version.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the tools reference to include the new lesson deletion tool and parameters.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for tool dispatch, metadata handling, slot visibility, and session limits.

Slot tools dispatched to mem::slot-* functions that are only registered
when AGENTMEMORY_SLOTS is enabled, so disabled installs got an opaque
Internal error instead of guidance. The MCP dispatch now returns the same
structured error/flag/enableHow body the REST endpoints already use, and
tools/list stops advertising slot tools while the flag is off.

The dispatch catch-all now includes the underlying error message so real
failures are diagnosable instead of a bare Internal error.

memory_save dropped array-typed concepts and files (string-only split)
and the standalone shim dropped the project parameter in validation, the
proxied remember body, and the local fallback record. Both now plumb
through.

memory_sessions returned every session unbounded; it now accepts a limit
(default 20, max 100) and returns the most recent sessions sorted by
startedAt descending.

Covered by test/mcp-tools-call.test.ts plus new cases in the surface
default and standalone proxy suites.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR updates MCP tool visibility and dispatch, adds agentId propagation, adds lesson deletion, bounds and sorts sessions, negotiates protocol versions, improves error messages, and expands automated coverage and reference documentation.

Changes

MCP tool surface and dispatch

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tool surface and slot gating
src/mcp/tools-registry.ts, src/mcp/server.ts, test/mcp-surface-default.test.ts
The registry adds memory_lesson_delete, agentId, and memory_sessions.limit. Slot tools are hidden and rejected when slots are disabled. Tests validate visibility and tool counts.
memory_save metadata and input normalization
src/mcp/server.ts, src/mcp/standalone.ts, test/mcp-standalone-proxy.test.ts, test/mcp-standalone.test.ts, test/mcp-tools-call.test.ts
memory_save trims and propagates agentId through proxy and local persistence. Concepts and files accept arrays or CSV strings.
Session bounds, lesson deletion, and error reporting
src/mcp/server.ts, test/mcp-tools-call.test.ts
Session limits are floored and clamped to 1–100. Sessions are sorted newest-first. Lesson deletion validates lessonId. Dispatch errors include the thrown message.
Protocol negotiation and MCP reference
src/mcp/standalone.ts, plugin/skills/agentmemory-mcp-tools/REFERENCE.md
Initialization selects a requested supported protocol version or the default supported version. The reference documents 54 tools and the updated parameters.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 31883

The change improves disabled-feature errors, input handling, and session limits, but the standalone path still uses a persistence behavior that conflicts with the repository's storage contract, and session results can differ depending on whether the server or fallback handles the request. MCP clients may also reject supported array inputs because the published schema is stale, so merge should wait for these bounded correctness and integration issues to be addressed or explicitly accepted.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Enforce minimum limit of 1 for memory_sessions.

The limit calculation allows negative or zero values (e.g., -5 or 0), which would result in an empty array via slice(0, limit). Other tools like memory_smart_search (line 294) and memory_commits (line 1266) use Math.max(1, Math.min(...)) to enforce a minimum of 1.

Additionally, the ?? 20 is redundant since asNumber(args.limit, 20) already returns 20 when the value is not finite.

🛡️ Proposed fix
-    const limit = Math.min(asNumber(args.limit, 20) ?? 20, 100);
+    const limit = Math.max(1, Math.min(asNumber(args.limit, 20) ?? 20, 100));

Keep standalone session ordering consistent.

This handler sorts sessions by startedAt before limiting results. src/mcp/standalone.ts local fallback applies its limit without sorting. The same memory_sessions call returns a different order when the server is unavailable.

Sort fallback sessions by startedAt descending before applying limit. Add a local-fallback ordering test.

Advertise list input forms in the MCP schema.

These lines accept arrays, but src/mcp/tools-registry.ts advertises concepts and files as type: "string" with CSV-only descriptions. Schema-aware MCP clients can reject or omit array arguments before this handler receives them.

Extend McpToolDef to represent a string-or-array JSON Schema, and expose that schema for both fields.

Document the slot-disabled tool count.

When AGENTMEMORY_SLOTS is disabled, tools/list removes the six memory_slot_* tools. The default all-tools surface therefore exposes 48 tools, not 54. State that 54 is the slots-enabled count, or document the conditional count.

Update the generator source and rerun npm run skills:gen; do not edit this generated block by hand.

Do not extend local InMemoryKV persistence.

These lines add agent-scoped data to the in-process fallback store. Route this save path through iii-engine primitives, or remove the local persistence path.

As per coding guidelines, src/**/*.{ts,tsx} must “use iii-engine primitives exclusively” and must not use “in-process alternatives.”
