When to use which
Use Smart when the client should send high-level intents and let the pipeline decide retrieval, escalation, and synthesis. Smart is ideal when you want a minimal tool surface — four tools cover the full create/read/update/delete lifecycle.
Use Expert when the client needs granular control: filtered search, collection management, typed associations between memories, bulk operations, or direct access to the full memory graph.
Smart
Four primitives. Let the pipeline handle retrieval strategy, ambiguity resolution, and content shaping. Ideal for platforms that prefer a simpler tool surface.
