Implements an intelligent MCP router that dynamically exposes tools to AI agents in stages based on context relevance, preventing context window overload by avoiding simultaneous exposure to hundreds of tools. Uses a progressive discovery pattern where tools are surfaced incrementally as the agent's conversation evolves, with schema-based tool filtering and relevance ranking to match agent intent to available capabilities across 50+ integrated services.
Unique: Strata's progressive discovery pattern is architecturally distinct from static tool exposure — it implements context-aware filtering that ranks tools by relevance to current agent state rather than exposing all tools upfront, using a schema registry and relevance scoring system that adapts as conversation context evolves
vs alternatives: Solves context window overload that plagues agents using raw OpenAI function calling or static MCP tool lists by dynamically filtering to relevant tools, reducing token consumption by 40-60% vs. exposing all 50+ tools simultaneously
