From Memory to Tool Injection: Context Engineering in Production AI Agents
goyalshaliniuk · x · 2026-07-30
Explores two core techniques in modern AI agent context engineering:
- Memory-Based Management: Production systems are shifting from 'what data to send' to 'what the model should remember', leveraging short-term, long-term, episodic, and graph memory.
- Tool-Aware Injection: Agents dynamically inject tool execution outputs (e.g., search results, API responses, database queries, MCP server outputs) into the context, allowing it to evolve continuously for smarter reasoning.
