Lore Context tools (11, 4 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
context_queryGet agent-ready context from memory, web search, repo evidence and tool traces.
eval_runwrite actionRun retrieval evaluation over uploaded sessions and questions.
memory_exportExport visible memories as Lore JSON or Markdown.
memory_forgetForget memories by explicit selector. Requires a reason and defaults to soft delete.
memory_getRead one visible Lore memory by id.
memory_listList visible memories with pagination and filters.
memory_searchSearch visible Lore memories directly.
memory_supersedewrite actionCreate a new version of a memory and mark the previous one superseded.
memory_updatewrite actionEdit an existing memory. Risky content returns to the governance review queue.
memory_writewrite actionSave a user-approved or project-relevant memory with audit logging.
trace_getRead a context or memory trace by id.

What is Lore Context
Lore Context is an open-core control plane for AI-agent memory: it composes context across memory, search, repository graphs, and tool traces; evaluates retrieval quality on your own datasets; routes governance review for sensitive content; and exports memory as a portable interchange format you can move between backends.
It does not try to be another memory database. The unique value is what sits on top of memory:
- Context Query — single endpoint composes memory + web + repo + tool traces, returns a graded context block with provenance.
- Memory Eval — runs Recall@K, Precision@K, MRR, stale-hit-rate, p95 latency on datasets you own; persists runs and diffs them for regression detection.
- Governance Review — six-state lifecycle (candidate / active / flagged / redacted / superseded / deleted), risk-tag scanning, poisoning heuristics, immutable audit log.
- MIF-like Portability — JSON + Markdown export/import preserving provenance / validity / confidence / source_refs / supersedes / contradicts. Works as a migration format between memory backends.
- Repo Graph — deterministic repository indexing (files, symbols, imports, calls, routes, tests) exposed as API routes and read-only MCP tools so agents ground repository answers in a stable project-context contract.
- Multi-Agent Adapter — first-class agentmemory integration with version probe + degraded-mode fallback; clean adapter contract for additional runtimes.
