Research direction
Start by locating the memwal_remember MCP tool description and reviewing its explicit-request guardrail in the context of proactive-memory use cases. Done means the guidance no longer conflicts with proactive writes, either through softened wording or an explicit opt-in for agents that use them.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The memwal_remember MCP tool's description states "Call ONLY when the user explicitly asks to remember/save something." This directly conflicts with building any agent designed to write memory proactively based on its own judgment (e.g. on decisions, failures, or errors) rather than on explicit user request — which is a core, encouraged pattern for agent memory systems. Recommend softening this guardrail or documenting an explicit opt-in for proactive-write agents.
