Agent Zero – Release Notes

Key highlights: skill selector UI, memory hardening, and tool-arg validation fixes.

• Built-in Skills Selector – A new plugin accessible from the chat input + menu lets you browse and activate available skills directly in the current context or project. Default configs now allow skills to be active from the start, saving time and tokens on setup.

• Memory hardening – FAISS index integrity is now verified via a SHA-256 sidecar file (index.faiss.sha256), written on every save. Filter evaluation in memory_load is hardened with an allowlist, length cap, and restricted simple_eval execution. Consolidation scoring now uses real relevance scores with best-score deduplication by memory ID. Input history is truncated before sending to the utility model to prevent context overflows.

• Tool argument validation fix – validate_tool_request previously crashed on any tool call that passed an empty tool_args dict (e.g. scheduler list_tasks, health checks) because an empty dict is falsy. The check is now a proper key-existence test, restoring correct behaviour for all no-argument tool calls.
