## Resource Management

### Memory Optimization
| Agent Type | Default Memory | MCP Servers | Savings |
|------------|---------------|-------------|---------|
| **Frontend Engineer** | 1GB | Playwright | 50% |
| **Backend Developer** | 768MB | Redis/Postgres | 62% |
| **Security Specialist** | 1.5GB | Security Scanner | 25% |

### Network Configuration
- **Isolated Networks**: Separate Docker networks for security
- **MCP Communication**: Local networking for fast MCP access
- **Service Discovery**: Automatic MCP server discovery
- **Connection Reuse**: Persistent connections for performance

### Resource Monitoring
- **Real-time Monitoring**: Memory, CPU, network usage tracking
- **Alert Management**: Automatic alerts for resource issues
- **Performance Metrics**: Detailed performance analytics
- **Cost Tracking**: Per-task cost analysis and optimization

## Security Architecture

### Multi-Layer Protection
1. **Container Isolation**: Agents run in isolated Docker containers
2. **Token Authentication**: MCP servers require valid agent tokens
3. **Skill-Based Authorization**: Tools require specific agent skills
4. **Rate Limiting**: Per-agent request limits for resource protection
5. **Audit Logging**: Full request/response logging for compliance
6. **Network Segmentation**: Isolated networks for different agent types

### Access Control Flow
```
Agent Request → Token Validation → Skill Check → Rate Limit → Tool Access
```

## Best Practices

### Task Design
- **Clear Requirements**: Specific, measurable acceptance criteria
- **Appropriate Mode**: Choose MVP/Standard/Enterprise based on complexity
- **Resource Planning**: Estimate memory and CPU requirements
- **Success Criteria**: Define clear success metrics

### Agent Selection
- **Skill Matching**: Select agents with relevant domain expertise
- **Diverse Perspectives**: Include different agent types for coverage
- **Performance History**: Consider past agent performance
- **Resource Optimization**: Balance capability with resource usage

### Security Considerations
- **Principle of Least Privilege**: Agents only access required MCP servers
- **Token Management**: Use appropriate token expiration times
- **Audit Trail**: Enable comprehensive logging for compliance
- **Network Isolation**: Use isolated networks for sensitive tasks

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues
1. **Container Won't Start**: Check Docker daemon and resource limits
2. **MCP Connection Failed**: Verify network configuration and token validity
3. **Memory Issues**: Monitor usage and adjust memory limits
4. **Agent Timeout**: Increase timeout or optimize task complexity
