# CompressionManager

The `CompressionManager` is responsible for compressing tool call results to save context space while preserving critical information.

## CompressionManager Methods

### `should_compress(messages, tools, model) -> bool`

Checks whether compression should be triggered based on configured thresholds.

**Parameters:**

* `messages`: List of messages to check
* `tools`: Optional list of tools for token counting
* `model`: The Agent/Team model

**Returns:**

* `bool`: True if either threshold is met

### `ashould_compress(messages, tools, model) -> bool`

Checks whether compression should be triggered based on configured thresholds asynchronously.

**Parameters:**

* `messages`: List of messages to check
* `tools`: Optional list of tools for token counting
* `model`: The Agent/Team model

**Returns:**

* `bool`: True if either threshold is met

### `compress(messages: List[Message]) -> None`

Compresses all uncompressed tool results.

**Parameters:**

* `messages`: List of messages containing tool results to compress

**Returns:**

* `None`: Modifies messages in place, setting `compressed_content` on each tool message

### `acompress(messages: List[Message]) -> None`

Compresses all uncompressed tool results asynchronously.

**Parameters:**

* `messages`: List of messages containing tool results to compress

**Returns:**

* `None`: Modifies messages in place, setting `compressed_content` on each tool message
