Can my coding agent read my own work history?

Short answer

Yes, through a local MCP server. Ascenda Flow gives coding agents two tools that return your own sessions and working days, so an agent can answer questions like "when did I last have a long focused stretch?" or "which project had the most failed runs this week?" The data stays on your Mac.

Why it matters

Agents start each session knowing nothing about how your week has gone. If they could see that you've been switching projects all day, or that one repository keeps producing failed runs, they could plan work around it. That context already exists in your tool history; agents can't read it without help.

How Ascenda helps

Flow runs a local MCP server with two tools, one for work sessions and one for working days. An agent can read:

  • start and end times, the tool and model used, and prompts and minutes per session
  • hands-on and supervising time, and how many sessions ran at once
  • stopped runs, failed tool calls, compactions and tokens
  • an hour-by-hour view of each day

Projects come back as opaque digests rather than names or paths, and the agent is told which one it's working in. The tools answer locally, only to agents you've connected.

Next step

See it on your own weeks

Flow is free for macOS. It imports the history your AI tools already keep, so the first read covers weeks you've already worked.
