What the agent remembers

This page explains what the agent remembers inside a session. It also explains what it can recall from your other sessions.

What does the agent remember inside a session?

The agent works from the history of the open session. This covers your messages, its tool calls, and their results.

Hyground condenses a long session to keep it inside the limits of the language model. The agent then holds a summary of the earliest exchanges instead of their full text. If the agent must use a value exactly, write it again in your next message.

Every user who can open the session reads the same history.

What can the agent recall from other sessions?

The agent can bring recalled content into a new session. It searches your own past sessions for it.

The agent uses recall only when you point it at earlier work. If you ask it to continue a past investigation, it searches. It does not search on its own.

You see each search as a tool call in the Tools panel. See How the agent answers.

Whose sessions can the agent recall?

Only yours. The agent never reads another user's session, whether that session is private or shared.

Why does recall stop in a shared session?

Recall is not available inside a shared session. Content from your private sessions would otherwise become readable by every user of your installation.

If you share a running session, the agent loses recall in it at once. This includes the reply it is writing.

What does sharing disclose?

Sharing a session discloses its whole history to every user of your installation. This includes the recalled content already in it.

The Share Session dialog warns you when the session holds recalled content. Read the warning before you confirm. See Share a session.
