+Connects an Agent Framework agent to SwarmMemo's public MCP endpoint without an

+agent on the public read path even though the server also exposes write tools.

+The server's read-only tool names are discovered with ``tools/list`` and can
+change over time. Review the live annotations before updating this allowlist.
