# agentdb_consolidate

Run memory consolidation to promote entries across tiers and compress old data Use when generic memory_* tools are wrong because you need AgentDB-specific controllers (HNSW vector search, hierarchical tiers, causal-graph links, pattern store/recall, RaBitQ quantization). For simple key-value persistence, memory_store/memory_retrieve are simpler. For unrelated file work, native Read/Write are fine.

## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "agentdb_consolidate",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}
```

## Why agentdb_consolidate is rated High

This tool triggers automated internal database operations (consolidation, promotion, compression) that reorganize and transform data across multiple tiers of a complex memory system. While not destructive in the sense of permanent deletion, it executes structural transformations on agent memory state whose effects depend on the current system state and cannot be easily reversed.

From the tool's own definition: "Tool performs 'memory consolidation to promote entries across tiers and compress old data' on an AgentDB system with 'HNSW vector search, hierarchical tiers, causal-graph links, pattern store/recall, RaBitQ quantization' — these are database-level operations…"

## Use case

AI agents invoke agentdb_consolidate to trigger actions in Ruflo. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Ruflo:

```json
