Classic Bug in Multi-User Scenarios
One Agent serves multiple users. If context isn't properly isolated, user A's request to check orders might return user B's orders.
Isolation Solutions
Option 1: Session Isolation (Simplest) Each user gets a session_id, and all data is stored by session_id.
cache_key = f'session:{session_id}:history'
history = redis.get(cache_key)
Option 2: Database Isolation Each user gets an independent data table or a separate vector space.
Option 3: Full Isolation Each user gets an independent Agent instance. Safest but most expensive.
Isolation Test Checklist
- User A's actions don't appear in user B's logs
- User A's tool call results aren't returned to user B
- After re-login, the previous user's conversation isn't visible
Summary
Context isolation is the foundation of multi-tenant Agents. If session isolation is sufficient, stick with itโdon't over-engineer.
