Strategic BDI Reasoning, Multi-Attribute Expected Utility Theory & Decision Intelligence for Autonomous AI Agents

@putervision/agent-reasoning-mcp is a formal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides strategic belief-desire-intention (BDI) reasoning, hierarchical goal decomposition, multi-attribute expected utility calculation ((E[U] = \sum w_i u_i)), exponential belief decay, quantitative risk evaluation, and reactive replanning across multi-modal memory bridges.

⚡ 15-Second Quick Start

bash

# 1. Initialize reasoning database & seed default utility profiles
npx @putervision/agent-reasoning-mcp init

# 2. Run health diagnostics and Merkle audit checks
npx @putervision/agent-reasoning-mcp doctor

# 3. Inspect active goals, intentions, and belief states
npx @putervision/agent-reasoning-mcp inspect

Tool	Actions	Purpose
`set_goal`	`create`, `update`, `decompose`, `get`, `list`, `abandon`	Manage goal hierarchy, task DAGs, and success criteria
`evaluate_situation`	`snapshot`, `quick`	Score and rank candidate actions from environment snapshots

System 1 Fast Decision Layer (5 Tools)

Inspired by the typed System 1 pattern pioneered by TypeSafe's Jev (evaluating typed Choice, Score, and Noul primitives over compact state without token generation), implemented locally via in-memory LRU caches and deterministic heuristics (<2ms) without external API calls.

Tool	Purpose	Latency Target	L1 Cache (p50)	Throughput
`classify`	Low-latency categorical labeling over multi-modal StatePacks	`<2ms`	`0.0075 ms`	~90,000 ops/s
`ask_noul`	Typed probabilistic hypothesis and Boolean verification ($p \in [0.0, 1.0]$)	`<2ms`	`0.0049 ms`	~127,000 ops/s
`ask_choice`	Discrete $1$-of-$N$ choice selection ($N \le 16$) with probability simplex	`<2ms`	`0.0138 ms`	~64,000 ops/s
`ask_score`	Bounded numeric scalar scoring and calibrated utility rating	`<2ms`	`0.0057 ms`	~129,000 ops/s
`gate_intention`	Pre-dispatch blast-radius audit gate issuing signed HMAC dispatch tokens	`<1ms`	`0.0709 ms`	~12,000 ops/s

See docs/benchmarks.md for full benchmark reproduction commands, latency percentiles (p50/p95/p99), and multi-tier caching architecture details.
