memory_tree: `mode` is required

Error message

memory_tree: `mode` is required

What it means

The memory_tree dispatcher found no "mode" string in the args. mode selects which sub-tool (search_entities, query_source, drill_down, ...) handles the call; it is the single required field of the union schema.

Solutions

  1. Pass one of the documented mode strings (e.g. walk, drill_down, fetch_leaves)
  2. Check the tool call was not truncated before the mode field
Defensive patterns
