invalid arguments for memory_tools_put: {e}

Error message

invalid arguments for memory_tools_put: {e}

What it means

The `memory_tools_put` arguments failed serde deserialization into the typed `Args` struct. Required is the rule text; optional fields are `priority` (must be exactly 'critical', 'high', or 'normal') and `tags` (array of strings). Wrong enum casing, a non-array tags value, or a missing required field triggers this, with `{e}` naming the cause.

Solutions

1. Use exact enum values for priority: 'critical', 'high', 'normal'
2. Send tags as an array of strings
3. Check `{e}` for the offending field
4. Include the required rule text field
