Class CompactionOptions

Namespace

Emissary

Assembly

Emissary.dll

Client-side context compaction: when a turn's input grows past TriggerInputTokens, Emissary summarizes the older part of the conversation and replaces it with that summary, so long-running agents survive past the context window.

Remarks

Compaction is performed by Emissary (one extra model call), not by the server, so it appears in trajectories, replays deterministically, and is visible as an AgentCompactedEvent — the auditability the server-side alternative cannot offer.

Properties

KeepRecentMessages

How many recent messages to preserve verbatim. The real boundary is the nearest older assistant message, so tool-call/result pairs are never split. Default 6.

public int KeepRecentMessages { get; set; }

Property Value

int

SummaryInstruction

The instruction given to the model when summarizing the older messages.

public string SummaryInstruction { get; set; }

Property Value

string

TriggerInputTokens

Compact before the next model call once a response reports more input tokens than this. null (the default) disables compaction.

public int? TriggerInputTokens { get; set; }

Property Value

int?
