Architecture

Search vs Memory vs Ask Decision Tool

Figure out whether a given failure or task needs retrieval, memory, workflow state, or a clarifying question.

What the tool does

This tool helps you decide whether a task needs retrieval, memory, workflow state, direct reasoning, or a clarifying question.

Who it's for

It is for teams debugging why an agent failed or deciding what kind of context mechanism a workflow really needs.

When to use it

Use it when you are tempted to add more retrieval or memory without first identifying the actual context problem.

Practical Use Case

Use this before changing your architecture so you can tell whether the issue is missing knowledge, missing continuity, or plain ambiguity.

Share The Result

Export results as a PDF to share in meetings, planning docs, or internal documentation.

Why This Result

  • Changing facts are a direct signal that the agent should check live sources instead of trusting stale context.

Search / Retrieval

The answer depends on outside information that may have changed since the model was last updated.

Suggested next move

Query authoritative sources and expose what was checked.
