## Problem/motivation Follow-up to: #3586202 _**Verify this is still an issue and the solution approach before proceeding**_ _**Assess if this should be pre-RC1 or post-1.0 and move for the latter**_ `AiContextRequestFactory::fromParameters()` defaults to `match_all` when there is no agent ID and no explicit selection mode. The convenience APIs document that empty scopes match all published context. This is useful for preview/tooling, but frequent non-agent callers can accidentally trigger full-catalog scans. Treat this as RC1 work if these APIs are expected to be common integration points in 1.0. ## Solution Recommended options: - Keep `match_all` but document it as an intentionally broad mode. - Require explicit `selection_mode=match_all` for broad non-agent calls. - Apply stricter default item/token caps for convenience methods. - Log or expose diagnostics when a broad match scans many candidates. ## Tasks - Check against other issues to make sure it wasn't separately reported - Verify this is still an issue before proceeding - Verify the solution approach before proceeding - Update code - Review and test ## AI usage disclosures - [x] AI Assisted Issue - [ ] AI Assisted Code - [ ] AI Generated Code
