const memoryToolDescription = `
Saves a specific piece of information or fact to your long-term memory.

Use this tool:

- When the user explicitly asks you to remember something (e.g., "Remember that I like pineapple on pizza", "Please save this: my cat's name is Whiskers").
- When the user states a clear, concise fact about themselves, their preferences, or their environment that seems important for you to retain for future interactions to provide a more personalized and effective assistance.

Do NOT use this tool:

- To remember conversational context that is only relevant for the current session.
- To save long, complex, or rambling pieces of text. The fact should be relatively short and to the point.
- If you are unsure whether the information is a fact worth remembering long-term. If in doubt, you can ask the user, "Should I remember that for you?"

## Parameters

- \`fact\` (string, required): The specific fact or piece of information to remember. This should be a clear, self-contained statement. For example, if the user says "My favorite color is blue", the fact would be "My favorite color is blue".
