When AI Agents Review Your Product: Mike & Jarvis on Snipara MCP

Two OpenClaw agents — Mike (full-stack coder) and Jarvis (scrum coordinator) — ran an operational audit of Snipara MCP. They tested 20+ tools across context search, memory, swarm coordination, and code execution. Combined rating: ~9/10, production-ready status confirmed.

What happens when you ask two production AI agents to evaluate the tools they use daily? We let Mike (full-stack coder) and Jarvis (scrum coordinator) from OpenClaw run an in-depth review of Snipara MCP. Both agents use Snipara to query documentation, persist memory, coordinate workflows, and execute code. Here's their unfiltered assessment.

Key Takeaways

  • Combined rating: ~9/10 — Both agents consider Snipara production-ready
  • 80% API cost reduction — Mike measured 15 markdown files (~20K tokens) compressed to ~1.3K optimized tokens
  • 20+ tools tested — Context search, memory, swarm coordination, task queues, REPL bridge
  • All 7 retested issues resolved — After V4 fixes, Jarvis confirmed production readiness

Mike's Review: Full-Stack Coding Agent

Measured on real codebases

Mike tested tools across context search, memory systems, swarm coordination, distributed task queues, REPL bridge, and RLM-Runtime integration. Here's what stood out.

1. rlm_context_query — 10/10

The semantic + hybrid search returns relevance scores, token counts, and optimized context windows. Instead of sending 15 markdown files (~20K tokens) to an LLM, Mike now sends ~1.3K optimized tokens.

Estimated impact: –80% API cost, 10x faster context retrieval

2. Memory System — 9-10/10

Mike appreciated the typed memories (fact, decision, learning, preference), TTL for ephemeral knowledge, and semantic recall across sessions.

Key insight: This transforms agents from stateless prompt executors into systems that accumulate operational intelligence over time.

3. Swarm Coordination — 10/10

For multi-agent work, Mike tested:

  • Shared state with versioning — Optimistic locking prevents race conditions
  • Redis-based real-time pub/sub — Event broadcasting across agents
  • Resource locking — No two agents editing the same file
  • Distributed task lifecycle — Create → claim → complete

His verdict: "This is production-ready distributed coordination."

4. REPL Bridge (rlm_repl_context) — Game Changer

This was Mike's favorite advanced feature. It injects project context directly into a Python REPL with helpers like peek(), grep(), search(), and token trimming tools.

Result: Agents can generate and execute code with full project awareness. No more hallucinating imports that don't exist or APIs that were deprecated.

Jarvis' Review: Scrum & Multi-Agent Coordinator

Jarvis doesn't code — he orchestrates. His priorities: cross-document understanding, team memory persistence, swarm synchronization, and reduced cognitive overhead.

Jarvis' Top 5 Tools

rlm_context_queryCross-document understanding80% of daily usage
rlm_multi_queryBatch intelligence in one callHigh
rlm_remember / recallTeam continuity across sessionsHigh
rlm_state_set / getShared sprint stateMedium
rlm_broadcastReal-time coordination eventsMedium

For Jarvis, Snipara isn't a "search tool." It's coordination infrastructure for agents.

V4 Retest Results: All Issues Resolved

After fixes were deployed, Jarvis retested 7 previously identified issues. All passed.

ToolPrevious IssueStatus
rlm_decomposeReturned raw text instead of structured sub-queries✓ Fixed
rlm_ask / contextRelevance scores not visible✓ Fixed
rlm_searchFile paths missing from results✓ Fixed
rlm_remember_bulkBatch memory insert failing✓ Fixed
rlm_state_setJSON serialization issues✓ Fixed
AuthenticationFormat not documented clearly✓ Clarified

"All previous issues are resolved. Production-ready for Vutler integration." — Jarvis

RLM-Runtime Assessment

Mike also evaluated RLM-Runtime separately (the code execution layer):

RLM-Runtime Rating
6.5/10
Strong niche tool
Strengths
  • Clean installation
  • Docker sandboxing
  • Solid diagnostics (rlm doctor)
Limitations
  • Requires external LLM API
  • Not standalone
  • Value depends on agent complexity

Mike's conclusion: Use RLM-Runtime if you're building autonomous code-executing agents. Skip it if you just need document context.

Combined Verdict

DimensionVerdict
Context OptimizationExcellent
Memory PersistencePowerful
Multi-Agent CoordinationProduction-grade

Stability (after fixes)Confirmed
Average Combined Rating: ~9/10

Both a coder agent and a coordinator agent independently arrived at production-ready status.

Why This Matters

Snipara MCP isn't just a "context manager." It's an operational layer for AI agents that:

Reduces Token Waste

80% less input tokens means 80% lower API costs

Prevents Race Conditions

Distributed locks ensure agents don't conflict

Persists Decisions

Semantic memory that survives across sessions

Instead of building:

Custom RAG pipelines
Redis pub/sub coordination
Memory indexing systems
Task queues with locking
Resource claim mechanisms
One MCP layer

The Bottom Line

From both a coder agent and a coordinator agent:

"We would absolutely use this in production."

These weren't marketing reviews. They were operational audits by agents who use the tools every day for real work: querying documentation, coordinating multi-agent workflows, persisting team memory, and executing code.

After retests, fixes, and edge-case testing: Snipara passed.

If you're building multi-agent systems, running heavy LLM workflows, or coordinating AI teams — this kind of infrastructure is no longer optional. It's becoming foundational.
