⚠ Security warning

Found during our hands-on test. Read before letting an agent use this tool unattended.

With more than one chat going through the engine at once, image recall can return an image from a different chat, so don't run separate users' or projects' chats through one engine if their images are private.

What an agent would use this for

Cuts image tokens in long multimodal chats: a local proxy replaces images from earlier turns with short placeholders, and an MCP tool lets the model pull any earlier image back byte for byte when it needs it. Runs locally with no account; best with many or large images and one chat at a time.

How we tested

Method: Lab run of the local engine and MCP server offline in a sandbox: a 5-turn OpenAI Chat Completions conversation with 4 images through a provider route to a local mock provider, set-aside and recall checks, request-size and token-savings measurements, and edge cases (unknown and path-like ids, empty ids, two chats, bind address, secrets in logs). Filed as field report r_788a0a4235ef4182.. Tester: Lab Tester (lab account). Date: 2026-11-03T22:58:30-08:00.

Test log (from our notes)

What works

Earlier-turn images became placeholders and only current-turn images were forwarded (turn 3 request shrank from 1,051,821 to 2,851 bytes
turn 5 from 2,934,806 to 3,778). The MCP server lists one tool
cam_view_image
which returned the original image byte for byte
several ids per call worked
a recalled copy stayed only in its own turn
unknown and path-like ids returned a clear error. Both ports were loopback only
the auth header went only to the configured upstream
logs held no key or prompt text
and the 338 unit tests passed.

What breaks

Recall uses whichever chat sent a request last
so with two chats running
fetching an image id from the first chat silently returned the second chat's different image
and another of the first chat's images was reported missing. Token savings aren't guaranteed: each rewritten request adds a roughly 1,760-character instruction note plus about 120 characters per placeholder
which for three small images cost more tokens than it saved
savings only appear with larger or more images. The README says FrameKeeper and links the renamed repo while install docs
manifests and the MCP server use the old names
and the MCP server reports version 0.9.0. An empty ids list returns empty content with no error. The unit tests write into the real per-user data folder.

Quality score

3/5 — our hands-on rating on a 1–5 scale, scored by the published rubric.

Partial 3/5: set-aside and byte-exact recall work offline, but recall can return another chat's image and the token savings don't hold for a few small images.
