Struct TieredRetrievalConfig 

pub struct TieredRetrievalConfig {
    pub enabled: bool,
    pub classifier_provider: ProviderName,
    pub validator_provider: ProviderName,
    pub token_budget: usize,
    pub validation_enabled: bool,
    pub validation_threshold: f32,
    pub max_escalations: u8,
    pub classifier_timeout_secs: u64,
    pub validator_timeout_secs: u64,
}

MemFlow tiered intent-driven retrieval configuration.

Classifies each recall query into one of three intent tiers (ProfileLookup, TargetedRetrieval, DeepReasoning) and dispatches to the cheapest sufficient backend. An optional validation step can escalate to a heavier tier when evidence confidence is low.

Example (TOML)

[memory.tiered_retrieval]
enabled = false
classifier_provider = ""
validator_provider = ""
token_budget = 4096
validation_enabled = false
validation_threshold = 0.6
max_escalations = 1
classifier_timeout_secs = 5
validator_timeout_secs = 5

Fields

enabled: bool

Enable MemFlow tiered retrieval. Default: false.

classifier_provider: ProviderName

Provider name from [[llm.providers]] for intent classification.

When empty, the HeuristicRouter is used (no LLM call). When a provider is set but the call fails, falls back to the heuristic (fail-open).

validator_provider: ProviderName

Provider name from [[llm.providers]] for evidence validation.

When empty or when validation_enabled = false, no validation call is made.

token_budget: usize

Maximum tokens to gather for evidence per query. Default: 4096.

validation_enabled: bool

Enable evidence validation and tier escalation. Default: false.

validation_threshold: f32

Confidence threshold below which validation triggers tier escalation. Default: 0.6.

max_escalations: u8

Maximum tier escalations per query. Default: 1.

classifier_timeout_secs: u64

Timeout in seconds for the classifier LLM call. Default: 5.

On timeout the pipeline falls back to the HeuristicRouter (fail-open).

validator_timeout_secs: u64

Timeout in seconds for the validator LLM call. Default: 5.

On timeout the validator is treated as sufficient (fail-open).
