Claude Developer Platform uses ranked search for tools, directory listing for memory

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Claude Developer Platform offers distinct approaches for managing overflowing tool catalogs and memory stores. For tools, the platform employs BM25 and regex-based search, returning a ranked shortlist of matching tools to the model. In contrast, memory stores utilize a directory-listing-like approach with parameters for depth and limit, returning items in a stable, server-defined order rather than by relevance. This difference means that for memory stores, the model itself must infer relevance based on the provided path and depth, whereas tool discovery is aided by explicit search capabilities. AI
