Give Meili search to agent as a tool/action for long-context or multi-convo scenarios

[krahnikblis]

i poked through the discussions and didn't see anything - sorry if i missed if someone already asked...

i often have several conversations which cover the same 'thing', each maybe in different contexts, or forked, or whatever. Also, even within a really long conversation, the context window is shorter than the total thread, and the agent 'forgets' about a particular long-running concept. it would be nice if i could shorten the context window of convo history in general, while also allowing the agent to search prior messages in the conversation (earlier than what's in existing context) or messages in other conversations, for a specific thing. I guess somewhat like the Agents API, but for search? if you already have an OpenAPI spec for search, i'd love to try plugging it into an agent action config to test how this might work...

config options for this feature (if embedded in application and not just added as an action) beyond simple on/off could be allow-multi-convo: yes/no, only-enable-on-truncated-convo: yes/no, num-returned-messages: 1+, max-returned-tokens: 1k+, message-ranking: relevance/recency, etc....

i implemented this via MCP, at least/specifically for Docker Compose setups.

i'll leave this enhancement request open, but would be nice if this were native tooling/capability, with stronger security and all the stuff i failed to handle or consider
