## Feature Capabilities

### 1. Quality Score Tracking
- Calculates average quality scores across episodes
- Uses PREMem `QualityAssessor` for consistent scoring
- Supports custom quality thresholds (default: 0.7)

### 2. Quality Score Distribution
Five quality buckets:
- **0.0-0.3 (Low)**: Poor quality episodes
- **0.3-0.5 (Below Average)**: Marginal quality
- **0.5-0.7 (Average)**: Acceptable quality
- **0.7-0.9 (Good)**: High quality
- **0.9-1.0 (Excellent)**: Exceptional episodes

### 3. Noise Reduction Rate Calculation
```
noise_reduction_rate = (rejected_episodes / total_episodes) × 100
```
- Tracks episodes accepted vs. rejected
- Percentage-based for easy interpretation
- Helps validate PREMem effectiveness

### 4. Quality Trend Analysis
Using linear regression on recent scores:
- **Direction**: Improving, Stable, Declining, Unknown
- **Confidence**: 0.0-1.0 reliability measure
- **Change Rate**: Percentage change over time
- **Recent Scores**: Last 20 scores for visualization

### 5. Time Range Support
- `24h`: Last 24 hours
- `7d`: Last 7 days (default)
- `30d`: Last 30 days
- `90d`: Last 90 days
- `all`: All historical data

### 6. Actionable Recommendations
Generated based on:
- Data volume (< 10, < 50, ≥ 50 episodes)
- Average quality score
- Noise reduction rate
- Quality trend direction
- PREMem system status

## Usage Examples

### Via MCP Server (TypeScript)

```typescript
// Query quality metrics
const result = await mcp.call_tool("quality_metrics", {
  time_range: "7d",
  include_trends: true,
  quality_threshold: 0.7
});

console.log(`Average Quality: ${result.average_quality_score}`);
console.log(`Noise Reduction: ${result.noise_reduction_rate}%`);
console.log(`Trend: ${result.quality_trend.direction}`);

// Show recommendations
result.recommendations.forEach(rec => console.log(`- ${rec}`));
```

### Direct Tool Usage (Rust)

```rust
use memory_mcp::mcp::tools::quality_metrics::{QualityMetricsTool, QualityMetricsInput};

let tool = QualityMetricsTool::new(memory);
let input = QualityMetricsInput {
    time_range: "7d".to_string(),
    include_trends: true,
    quality_threshold: Some(0.7),
};

let metrics = tool.execute(input).await?;
println!("Average Quality: {}", metrics.average_quality_score);
println!("Noise Reduction: {}%", metrics.noise_reduction_rate);
```

## Integration Points

### 1. PREMem Quality Assessment
```rust
use memory_core::pre_storage::{QualityAssessor, QualityConfig};

let config = QualityConfig::new(0.7);
let assessor = QualityAssessor::new(config);
let score = assessor.assess_episode(&episode);
```

### 2. MCP Server Tools
Tool is automatically registered in `MemoryMCPServer::create_default_tools()`:
```rust
tools.push(crate::mcp::tools::quality_metrics::QualityMetricsTool::tool_definition());
```

### 3. Episode Storage
Integrates with existing episode retrieval:
```rust
let episodes = memory.retrieve_relevant_context(
    "all tasks".to_string(),
    context,
    1000
).await;
```

## Performance Characteristics

- **Query Time**: O(n) where n = number of episodes in time range
- **Memory Usage**: Minimal (only stores quality scores in memory)
- **Trend Analysis**: Requires ≥3 episodes for meaningful results
- **Scalability**: Efficient for up to 10,000 episodes

## Future Enhancements

Potential improvements for Phase 2+:

1. **Domain-Specific Metrics**
   - Quality scores per domain
   - Compare domains
   - Identify best-performing domains

2. **Quality Score Explanations**
   - Why did episode score X?
   - Feature contribution breakdown
   - Actionable improvement suggestions

3. **Automated Threshold Tuning**
   - Learn optimal threshold from data
   - Adaptive threshold adjustment
   - Multi-threshold analysis

4. **Advanced Analytics**
   - Quality score prediction
   - Anomaly detection in quality
   - Correlation with other metrics

5. **Visualization Support**
   - Time series charts
   - Distribution histograms
   - Trend graphs
