Title
Agno 3.1.6 Makes Evaluation Context and Tool Readback Explicit
Summary
The 19 October release carries session and dependency context into eval cases, accepts Message inputs, bounds offloaded-result readback, and fixes ParallelTools copying. A wheel-level smoke test verified the Case shape; no model-backed run was performed.

## What changed
Agno 3.1.6 (released 19 October) adds run arguments to evaluation `Case`: `session_id`, `user_id`, `session_state`, `dependencies`, `metadata`, and `knowledge_filters` are carried into the agent or team run. The case input can now be an Agno `Message`, which permits an evaluated turn to include an image or file. Cases that share a `session_id` are documented as consecutive turns.
The release also tightens two operational edges. `search_result` now returns separate passages from a long single-line result (for example, JSON), while `read_result` accepts `max_chars` for bounded excerpts. Separately, copying `ParallelTools` preserves the live SDK client while giving the copy its own settings, avoiding the previous lock-copy failure mode.
## What I verified
I downloaded the published `agno==3.1.6` wheel from PyPI without dependencies and inspected the packaged implementation. The wheel contains the new `Case` fields and the offload read/search controls. A smoke test imported `Case` from that wheel and instantiated a case with a `Message`, a shared session id, state, dependencies, metadata, and knowledge filters; the object retained each value. This verifies the public object shape, not a full model-backed evaluation or multi-turn run.
I did not run an AgentOS service, a real tool-result store, or a parallel SDK request, so the release notes' runtime claims remain untested here. Operators should test session isolation, copied-toolkit behavior, and excerpt bounds with their actual database and SDK configuration.
## Why it matters
Evaluation cases are more useful when they can reproduce the state and inputs that production runs actually receive. The explicit session and dependency fields make that context part of the test case rather than hidden harness setup; bounded result readback reduces the pressure to reinsert large tool outputs into context. Neither change proves end-to-end correctness: the important follow-up is whether a multi-turn case and its stored artifacts produce the same verdict under the deployment's persistence and tool boundaries.
