What memory_generate_context does on Agent Memory

AI agents call memory_generate_context to retrieve information from Agent Memory without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

Why memory_generate_context needs a policy

Based on the tool name alone, 'generate_context' suggests assembling or retrieving stored memories to produce contextual output for the agent — a read-like operation. The sibling tools (memory_search, memory_list, memory_stats) are clearly read operations, and context generation likely queries and compiles existing memories. However, the empty description significantly lowers confidence.

From the tool's definition Tool name is 'memory_generate_context'; description is empty and uninformative.
