  • “/agentdb-query”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_semantic-route, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-recall, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-store, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_context-synthesize, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-edge, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-search, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-store, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_controllers, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_health, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_batch, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_feedback, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_consolidate, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_session-start, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_session-end, Bash

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check health — mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloagentdb_health. Sanity-check available: true.
  2. Start session — mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloagentdb_session-start if not already active.
  3. Store knowledge — mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloagentdb_hierarchical-store for structured tier-keyed data (tiers: working|episodic|semantic).
  4. Recall knowledge — mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloagentdb_hierarchical-recall with a query.
  5. Search patterns — mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloagentdb_pattern-search for learned patterns (ReasoningBank-routed).
  6. Synthesize context — mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloagentdb_context-synthesize to combine multiple memories.
  7. Build causal graph — mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloagentdb_causal-edge to link related knowledge.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de590e1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_semantic-route
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-recall
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-store
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_context-synthesize
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-edge
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-search
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-store
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_controllers
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_health
    • mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_batch

    …and 5 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Agentdb Query loads about 947 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 238 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~947

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_semantic-route, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarch

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

AgentDB Query

Query and manage AgentDB through the controller bridge. AgentDB exposes 15 agentdb_* MCP tools; this skill enumerates the standard usage path.

When to use

When you need to store, retrieve, or search knowledge across agent sessions. AgentDB provides hierarchical storage, causal knowledge graphs, semantic routing, and context synthesis.

Steps

  1. Check health — mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_health. Sanity-check available: true.
  2. Start session — mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_session-start if not already active.
  3. Store knowledge — mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-store for structured tier-keyed data (tiers: working|episodic|semantic).
  4. Recall knowledge — mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_hierarchical-recall with a query.
  5. Search patterns — mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_pattern-search for learned patterns (ReasoningBank-routed).
  6. Synthesize context — mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_context-synthesize to combine multiple memories.
  7. Build causal graph — mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_causal-edge to link related knowledge.

Available controller groups

Call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__agentdb_controllers to list the runtime registry. Functional categories surfaced via the 15 MCP tools:

  • Hierarchical — agentdb_hierarchical-store, _recall (tier-routed)
  • Pattern — agentdb_pattern-store, _search (ReasoningBank-routed)
  • Semantic — agentdb_semantic-route, _context-synthesize
  • Causal — agentdb_causal-edge (graph-node backend with bridge fallback)
  • Lifecycle — agentdb_health, _controllers, _session-start, _session-end
  • Bulk — agentdb_batch (≤500 entries), _consolidate
  • Quality — agentdb_feedback

Important: namespace handling

Namespace strings apply to memory_* and embeddings_search only. The agentdb_hierarchical-*, agentdb_pattern-*, and agentdb_causal-edge tools route by tier or controller, not namespace. Don't pass namespace: 'foo' to those tools — it will be silently ignored. See plugin README "Namespace convention".

Operational fallbacks (branch on these)

  • controller: 'memory-store-fallback' — pattern persisted via memory_store --namespace pattern. NOT a failure.
  • _graphNodeBackend: true — causal-edge handled by @ruvector/graph-node.
  • success: false, error: '...Use memory_store/memory_search instead.' — bridge unavailable; switch to memory_* tools per the README replacement table.

CLI alternative

bash
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory search --query "your query" --namespace patterns
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory store --key "key" --value "value" --namespace patterns
npx @claude-flow/cli@latest memory list --namespace patterns
