requires the tool-cache license feature

The tool cache memoizes the results of deterministic tool or function calls an agent makes, keyed by a deterministic string built from the call (for example the tool name and its arguments). TOOL.CACHE.GET returns the value stored under key, which must match byte for byte. In an existing namespace, each call counts as a hit or a miss in TOOL.CACHE.STATS. An expired entry counts as a miss.

Return value

Section titled “Return value”
Case RESP2 RESP3
Hit Bulk string: the cached value Same
Miss, expired entry, or unknown namespace Nil bulk string Null

Errors:

  • ERR wrong number of arguments for 'tool.cache.get' command if the argument count is wrong.
  • NOLICENSE tool-cache requires a HotKV license. Contact sales@hotkv.com if your license does not include the tool-cache feature.
