"""Redis Context Provider: Basic usage and agent integration

This example demonstrates how to use the Redis context provider to persist and
retrieve conversational memory for agents. It covers three progressively more
realistic scenarios:

1) Standalone provider usage ("basic cache")
   - Write messages to Redis and retrieve relevant context using full-text or
     hybrid vector search.

2) Agent + provider
   - Connect the provider to an agent so the agent can store user preferences
     and recall them across turns.

3) Agent + provider + tool memory
   - Expose a simple tool to the agent, then verify that details from the tool
     outputs are captured and retrievable as part of the agent's memory.

Requirements:
  - A Redis instance with RediSearch enabled (e.g., Redis Stack)
  - agent-framework with the Redis extra installed: pip install "agent-framework-redis"
  - Optionally an OpenAI API key if enabling embeddings for hybrid search

Run:
  python redis_basics.py
